Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of capstack.live and the Capstack platform and services (together, "Capstack"), operated by Stellar Ventures ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using Capstack, you agree to these Terms. If you use Capstack on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind it.
What Capstack provides
Capstack provides capital-raise preparation, process-management software and advisory services, including investor matching, deck and narrative tools, outreach and pipeline tools, data room preparation and, on a managed raise, hands-on support from our team.
Important. Capstack is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser or placement agent. We do not solicit investors on behalf of issuers for compensation contingent on a transaction, and we do not provide legal, tax or investment advice. Nothing on Capstack is an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security.
Accounts
You must provide accurate information and keep your login details secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract.
Plans, fees and billing
- Investor Match is a one-time payment of $27 USD. It includes a readiness score, your matched investors, a profile in the investor portal and inclusion in bi-weekly matching updates.
- Founder is a monthly subscription of $99 USD, billed in advance and renewing automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- Managed raise is offered by application. Scope, fees and timelines are agreed in a separate written agreement before work starts, and that agreement prevails over these Terms where they conflict.
Prices exclude applicable taxes. Except where required by law or stated in a written agreement, fees already paid are non-refundable. We may change prices with reasonable advance notice.
No guarantee of outcomes
Fundraising outcomes depend on your business, market conditions and investor decisions that we do not control. We do not guarantee that you will raise capital, receive introductions, meetings or term sheets, or achieve any valuation. Investor matches, scores and examples are informational.
Your content
You keep ownership of the materials you upload, such as decks, financials and documents ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited licence to host, process and share Your Content as needed to provide Capstack, including sharing it with investors in line with your plan and settings. You confirm you have the rights to upload Your Content and that it is accurate and not misleading.
Investor users
Investors who join Capstack agree to use startup information only to evaluate potential investments, to keep non-public materials confidential, and not to contact founders in a misleading way. Investors make their own investment decisions and are responsible for their own diligence.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Misrepresent your company, traction or identity, or upload unlawful or infringing material.
- Scrape, copy or resell investor or startup data from Capstack.
- Use Capstack to send spam or to contact people who have asked not to be contacted.
- Interfere with, reverse engineer or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the platform.
Our intellectual property
Capstack, including its software, design, frameworks, templates and content (other than Your Content), belongs to Stellar Ventures and its licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Capstack for your own fundraising during your subscription.
Confidentiality
We treat your non-public materials as confidential and will sign a non-disclosure agreement on request. Each party will protect the other's confidential information with reasonable care and use it only for the purposes of the relationship.
Disclaimers
Capstack is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Information about investors, markets and programs may be incomplete or out of date.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or financing opportunities. Our total liability for any claim relating to Capstack is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
Suspension and termination
You may stop using Capstack at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or use Capstack in a way that could cause harm. Sections that by their nature should survive, such as fees owed, confidentiality, disclaimers and limitation of liability, survive termination.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, unless a written agreement between us says otherwise.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you. Continuing to use Capstack after changes take effect means you accept them.
