Who can view expert insights and how are they protected?

Once an expert submits his/her response to an investor question, the startup management is alerted to review the response and provide a rebuttal if they find it necessary. The response then becomes available to investor users as part of the full evaluation results (along with insights from other contributors and attributable to the respective contributors). Note that investors must first gain approval from the startup before they can view the evaluation results to ensure no conflict of interest (e.g., if the investor is affiliated with a competitor).

All users on Propel(x). – investors, startups, and experts – must agree to abide by our Terms of Use prior to gaining access to the evaluation results, specifically:

To keep evaluation results strictly confidential;
To not disseminate the results in any manner, including provision to any third party or any form of publication;
To not use the evaluation results other than for their internal use that is not competitive to the relevant startup.
