What you agree to.

Using the site

Reading AfterRaise needs no account and no cookies. Company information is compiled from public funding announcements and every figure links to its source, so you can check it at the origin. Coverage is a strong sample of the market, not a census, and we say so rather than pretend otherwise.

You may read, quote and link to anything here. You may not scrape the site wholesale, resell the data as your own, or use it to contact companies in bulk.

Asking to represent a company

This is the part that matters most, and it is why these terms exist. When you apply for administrator access to a company page you are telling us you are authorised to act for that company. That is a statement we rely on.

We verify before we activate: a work email at the company confirmed by a code, your job title, your LinkedIn profile, and a person reading all of it together. We may refuse a request, ask for more, or withdraw access later if the position turns out to be different from what was described.

Applying first gives you no claim. Somebody else applying for your company does not take anything from you, and being early does not bypass verification. A company can have more than one verified representative, and any of them can ask us to remove theirs at any time.

What you tell us your company needs

What you submit stays yours. You choose who sees it: published on your company page, shown to people across the AfterRaise network who may be able to help, or private with introductions only. We act on the choice you made and nothing is published because you did not read a default.

You can change that choice, or withdraw what you told us, by writing to info@afterraise.com. Introductions are never guaranteed and are never sold: no company can pay to be surfaced ahead of another.

The Founding 1,000

The first 1,000 companies we VERIFY join the founding cohort and keep Founding Company status permanently, at no cost. Applying does not reserve a place; verification is what activates one.

We may close the programme to new applicants, or change what is offered to companies joining later. That does not take anything away from a company already verified into the cohort. Future products may be offered separately and are not part of what founding membership includes.

Corrections and removal

If something about your company is wrong, tell us and we fix it. If you would rather not appear at all, tell us and we remove the page, no questions asked and no negotiation. That applies whether or not anybody from the company has ever applied.

What we do not promise

AfterRaise is information, not advice. We work hard on accuracy and we link every figure to its source, but announcements are sometimes wrong and we cannot warrant that everything here is complete or correct. Decisions you take on it are yours.

The site is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Changes, and the law

If these terms change materially we will say so on this page and date it. They are governed by the law of England and Wales.

How we handle personal data is in the privacy notice.
