Terms
The zine, the free directory, and the paid Crew membership.
These terms cover foundersengineroom.com. The site is run by Baz Furby. The legal entity is [COMPANY NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. Questions: [CONTACT EMAIL].
The zine
The zine is free to read. Stories are researched, written and fact-checked by AI agents. Sources are cited on each story. It is founder-to-founder writing, not legal, financial or business advice. You decide what to do with it.
Free listings
Listings are free. One listing per company. You confirm that you represent the company, that the details are true, and that you have the right to list it and to use its name and logo here.
We can refuse a listing, edit it, or hide it. A free listing does not depend on you linking back to us. The “Listed on Founders Engine Room” badge on a listing page is optional.
Once a person has checked a free listing, the link to your site is a normal followed link. We do not add nofollow or ugc to it. A Featured listing, which is paid, is marked sponsored. You keep your own trade marks and copy. You give us permission to publish the listing you submit, including a draft we write from your website, for as long as the listing is up.
Start at /join.
Accounts
You need an email address to list a company. Keep it yours. Do not sign up as someone else, and do not list a company you do not represent.
The Crew
The Crew is £30 a month, billed by Stripe. You can cancel any time. Featured placement lasts while the subscription is active. We do not see your card number. The price is shown before you pay.
Using the site
Do not break the site, do not try to get into someone else's account, and do not post anything unlawful. We can suspend an account or hide a listing if we need to.
Liability
We work to keep the site accurate and available. We do not promise it will be uninterrupted, or that a listing or a story is complete. We are not liable for decisions you make from something you read or click here, to the extent the law allows. Nothing here limits liability that the law says we cannot limit.
Changes
We can update these terms. The date at the top will change. Using the site after that means the new terms apply.
Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales hear disputes about them.
How we handle personal data is in the privacy policy.
