— VI. Discretion

How material is handled.

A standing operating practice across all submissions, regardless of outcome.

01

Submissions are confidential by default

Application contents — including decks, financials, and free-form notes — are visible only to authorized reviewers within the partnership. We do not syndicate, share, or sell submitted material.

02

NDA-equivalent handling

We treat operator decks and capital disclosures as if a mutual NDA were in force from the moment of intake. No signature is required to obligate us to that standard; signatures are added when an engagement formalizes.

03

Storage & access

Files are stored in encrypted private object storage. Access is limited via role-based permissions. Reviewers see only what is required to evaluate fit.

04

Retention

Submissions are retained for 24 months from receipt to support reapplications and structural follow-ups. You may request deletion at any time by emailing the address on the contact channel provided in your acknowledgment.

05

What this is not

This page is a statement of operating practice, not a legal contract. A binding NDA, term sheet, or partnership agreement is executed separately when an engagement proceeds.

— Standing practice

We treat what you send as if you sent it under signature. The protections apply whether or not we ultimately engage.
