Privacy Policy

This site is a founder community blog where founders share anonymous stories. I keep things straightforward:

What I don't do:

  • Collect your personal information unless you give it to me directly
  • Sell your data to anyone
  • Send you spam
  • Share the identity of story contributors (ever)

What I might collect:

  • Your email if you subscribe to updates (and you can unsubscribe anytime)
  • Your email if you submit an anonymous story (used only for verification and FoundersBoxx trial access)
  • Basic site usage data through standard web analytics
  • Whatever third-party services (like Ghost hosting or email delivery) collect automatically

Anonymous Story Submissions:

  • When you email a story, I collect your email address to verify you're a real founder and send you FoundersBoxx trial access
  • Your story is published completely anonymously - no names, company details, or identifying information
  • I never share who submitted which story, period
  • Your email is only used for: verification, FoundersBoxx trial, and letting you know when your story goes live

Cookies: Standard website stuff. Disable them in your browser if you prefer.

Your data rights: Want to know what I have on you, delete your story, or remove your email? Email me and I'll sort it out immediately.

That's it. No hidden clauses, no corporate nonsense.

Terms of Service

By using this site, you agree to these basics:

  1. Content Ownership: Posts on this site are written either by me or by anonymous founder contributors. Each story remains the intellectual property of its original author, even when published anonymously.
  2. Anonymous Story Submissions: By emailing a story to [email protected], you grant permission to publish it anonymously with identifying details removed. You can request removal anytime.
  3. Story Verification: I verify that story submitters are real founders to maintain authenticity and prevent spam. This verification process is confidential.
  4. Community Standards: Stories should be authentic founder experiences. No promotional content, spam, or false information. I reserve the right to reject submissions that don't meet these standards.
  5. Use of Site: Read, learn, and share respectfully. Don't try to hack the site, misuse it, or do anything illegal.
  6. No Guarantees: Content is based on personal experience and shared knowledge. It's not professional advice. If you act on something written here and it goes badly, that's on you.
  7. Liability: I'm not responsible for damages, losses, or consequences that result from content posted by me or anonymous contributors. Each author stands by their own words.
  8. External Links: Sometimes we link to outside sites (like FoundersBoxx). Once you leave here, their rules apply, not mine.
  9. Changes: I may update these terms or the privacy policy from time to time. Keep using the site and you're agreeing to the latest version.
