Editorial Guidelines

Our commitment to accurate, fair, and transparent reporting on the innovation economy.

Our Core Principles

Accuracy & Verification

Every fact is verified through multiple sources. We correct errors promptly and transparently when they occur.

Fairness & Balance

We present multiple perspectives and give subjects the opportunity to respond before publication.

Transparency

We clearly distinguish between news reporting, analysis, and sponsored content. Our sources are disclosed when possible.

Independence

Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, investors, or any outside influence.

Editorial Standards

Source Verification

  • Primary sources are prioritized over secondary reporting
  • Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when necessary
  • Official company statements and filings are referenced when available
  • Multiple independent sources confirm major claims

Corrections Policy

  • Errors are corrected as soon as they are identified
  • Corrections are clearly noted at the top of articles
  • Significant corrections are announced separately
  • A record of corrections is maintained for transparency

Conflict of Interest

  • Writers disclose any financial interest in companies covered
  • Sponsored content is clearly labeled as such
  • Editorial staff do not accept gifts or favors from sources
  • Advertising has no influence over editorial content

Data Standards

Our startup and investor data comes from multiple verified sources to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Community Contributions

Founders and investors can submit updates to their profiles. All submissions are reviewed by our team before publication.

Public Records

We aggregate data from public filings, press releases, and official announcements to ensure accuracy.

AI-Assisted Research

Our AI tools help identify and surface relevant information, but human editors verify all data before it goes live.
