Terms of Service
Last updated: October 2026 · Effective immediately
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using PitchMyIdeas ("the Platform"), creating an account, posting an unbuilt startup pitch, joining a waitlist, or leaving constructive feedback, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Platform.
2. 100% Founder Intellectual Property Ownership
You own your ideas. Submitting a pitch, problem description, proposed solution, pricing model, or media to PitchMyIdeas transfers zero ownership to PitchMyIdeas or its operators.
- You retain 100% full copyright, trademark, and intellectual property rights in and to your submissions.
- You grant PitchMyIdeas a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license solely to display, host, and index your pitch on the Platform, social media preview cards, and search engines.
- Because ideas posted on PitchMyIdeas are public, you acknowledge that public disclosure occurs upon submission. If you require confidentiality before filing a patent or trade secret, do not post the proprietary details publicly.
3. Community "Roast" Standards & Constructive Critique
PitchMyIdeas operates on candid, direct, and constructive feedback from fellow founders and builders.
- Encouraged: Pointing out unviable unit economics, customer acquisition hurdles, edge cases, competitor blind spots, and UX friction.
- Strictly Prohibited: Personal insults, harassment, hate speech, derogatory slurs, defamation, or coordinated downvoting. Violations will result in immediate comment removal and permanent account ban.
4. Waitlists & Backer Data Responsibilities
When prospective customers back your idea by submitting their email address and willingness-to-pay tier:
- Founders agree to use backer contact information exclusively to communicate product milestones, beta invitations, and launch updates for that specific idea.
- Founders are strictly prohibited from selling, renting, or transferring backer emails to third parties or spamming them with unrelated promotions.
- Backers may request removal from any waitlist at any time.
5. Market Validation Only (Not Investment Advice or Crowdfunding)
PitchMyIdeas is a market research and early demand validation tool for unbuilt ideas.
- PitchMyIdeas is not a registered broker-dealer, investment advisor, or equity crowdfunding platform.
- Pitches do not constitute offers or solicitations of securities, equity, or investments. No monetary transactions on PitchMyIdeas represent investments or equity in any company.
6. Pitch Deletion & Account Control
You have full autonomy over your data. You may edit your pitch details or delete your pitch at any time from your Founder Dashboard. Deleting an idea permanently removes all associated waitlists, comments, and milestones from the live database.
7. Limitation of Liability
PitchMyIdeas is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. PitchMyIdeas makes no guarantees regarding the market success, profitability, or execution feasibility of any idea posted on the Platform. In no event shall PitchMyIdeas be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of the Platform.
