Getting oriented.
What is StartupMeu?
A global discovery marketplace where businesses seeking capital can create public funding profiles and potential investors can discover, save, and express interest in those businesses.
Is StartupMeu only for technology startups?
No. The planned marketplace supports a broad range of businesses, including SaaS, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, agriculture, restaurants, professional services, established SMEs, local businesses, and more.
What does “connect” mean?
An investor can send an expression of interest. The founder reviews the request and decides whether to accept or decline. An accepted connection enables direct follow-up between the parties.
Does an interest request mean an investor has committed?
No. It is an introduction or request to learn more. It is not an investment order, offer, commitment, reservation, or purchase.
Profiles and visibility.
What should a business include?
Company and founder context, industry and location, a clear description, funding need and purpose, stage, revenue context, and appropriate supporting materials.
Are pitch decks automatically public?
No. Document visibility should be selected deliberately. Planned controls include public, registered investors only, or after connection or approval.
Does a published profile mean a business is verified?
No. Publication or review does not automatically mean StartupMeu has verified a business, founder identity, financial information, ownership, claims, or fundraising terms. Verification badges should correspond only to checks actually completed.
Can a business change or pause its listing?
The planned business dashboard includes profile updates and listing management, including pausing or changing a listing subject to the final product rules.
Search, save, and reach out.
Do investors pay to use StartupMeu?
The planned model gives investors free registration, profile creation, search, filters, saves, and expressions of interest.
Can investors filter listings?
Yes. Planned criteria include industry, country, city, business type, funding range, revenue range, business stage, founded year, and employee count.
Does StartupMeu recommend the “best” investment?
No. StartupMeu is not designed to rank investments or give investment recommendations. Discovery tools help people find profiles; users decide what to assess.
Are investors verified or accredited?
Account verification such as email or phone confirmation is not the same as verifying investor status, accreditation, identity, ability to fund, suitability, or intent.
Know what comes next.
What does the business plan cost?
The planned standard price is $29 per month for a business listing and associated features. Final taxes, payment currencies, payment provider, and terms depend on the operating setup.
How does a coupon work?
A valid coupon is checked server-side against campaign dates, eligibility, redemption limits, plan, and any other configured restrictions. Successful redemption records the promotional period.
What happens after free promotional access ends?
The business should be shown the end date and whether the plan transitions to the standard $29/month price. The exact billing and cancellation terms must be clear before redemption.
Does a paid listing guarantee funding?
No. A subscription buys listing features, not investor interest, a connection, funding, returns, or any business result.
Discovery is the service.
StartupMeu is a marketplace for discovery and connection. It does not provide investment, financial, legal, tax, valuation, or other professional advice; does not guarantee funding or returns; and does not participate in investment decisions or transactions. Actual investment decisions, diligence, terms, legal documents, payments, and regulatory obligations remain with the relevant parties. The exact product and legal structure must be reviewed by qualified counsel in each operating jurisdiction.
