Angel Matchup is committed to maximum operational transparency, data integrity, and compliance across global privacy standards. Because our curated databases assist startup founders in navigating sensitive ecosystem landscapes, we maintain rigorous internal protocols for how information is researched, verified, and updated.
This methodology statement outlines our approach to data sourcing, verification standards, compliance practices, and our strict boundaries regarding automated systems.
1. Data Sourcing Principles
Angel Matchup follows a strict data minimization and purposeful collection framework. We do not source data through invasive tracking, unauthorized breaches, or confidential leaks. Instead, our research relies entirely on:
- Publicly Available Information: Official corporate registries, verified professional profiles, public press releases, and public-facing investment disclosures.
- Reputable Industry Resources: Recognized venture capital tracking publications, ecosystem databases, and institutional market reports.
- Direct Professional Submissions: Information voluntarily provided by founders, ecosystem participants, or investors looking to update public profiles.
- Operational Expertise: Over 7 years of early-stage startup and fundraising preparation experience led by founder Mahindar Singh.
2. Verification Protocol
To ensure that our curated angel investor databases provide reliable utility while managing the realities of dynamic markets, every entry passes through a structured verification flow:
- Initial Cross-Reference: Data points are checked against at least two independent, public sources to verify baseline accuracy.
- Contextual Evaluation: Information is assessed for clarity, temporal relevance, and general presentation quality to ensure it is non-misleading.
- Editorial Oversight: Final database inclusions and educational frameworks undergo human review led by internal management to ensure compliance with our editorial and fact-checking standards.
Note on Data Limitations: Investor mandates, check sizes, and investment focus areas change frequently. While we perform good-faith verifications prior to publishing, Angel Matchup does not guarantee ongoing real-time accuracy once records are live.
3. Scraping & Compliance Standards
Angel Matchup respects digital infrastructure boundaries and intellectual property laws:
- Prohibition of Unlawful Scraping: We strictly prohibit unauthorized scraping, mass data harvesting, or automated extraction of our proprietary databases and website content by third parties (as outlined in our Terms and Conditions).
- Respect for Privacy and Terms: Information compilation for our products is executed ethically, adhering strictly to public access frameworks without bypassing paywalls, login barriers, or private user credentials.
- Exclusion of AI Data Training: In alignment with our data trust commitments, Angel Matchup does not process user data through external AI models, share user data with third-party AI providers, or utilize proprietary user information for AI training iterations.
4. Global Privacy Compliance Frameworks
Our data handling protocols are built to align with stringent international regulatory requirements, ensuring that data processing remains transparent and lawful:
- GDPR & UK GDPR (Europe): Compliant with lawful bases such as legitimate interests, contract performance, and explicit user consent.
- CCPA / CPRA (California, USA): Upholding consumer transparency rights, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of data processing, backed by a strict no-sale-of-data policy.
- PIPEDA (Canada): Operating transparently with respect to express and implied consent parameters.
5. Corrections, Updates & Feedback Loop
We treat data accuracy as an ongoing commitment rather than a static milestone.
- If an error, outdated parameter, or discrepancy is identified within our databases or content files, it is investigated and corrected promptly.
- Users, founders, and investors can submit correction requests directly to our team.
