Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 4, 2026

Overview

Velo (“Velo,” “we,” “us”) operates the venture-intelligence platform at velo-labs.ai. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Velo is a private, invite-only platform — its data is gated and not publicly indexable.

1. Information we collect

  • Account — your name and email when you sign up or request access.
  • Profile — what you choose to add: your role (founder / investor / operator), company or fund, sectors, stage, raise amount or check size, bio, and location. This powers matching and personalization.
  • LinkedIn (only if you connect it) — limited to your bio, profile picture, and connections. We do not access your LinkedIn messages, posts, or activity. See §3.
  • Usage — basic product analytics (pages viewed, features used) to improve Velo.
  • Public ecosystem data — information about companies, funds, and investors compiled from public sources for the catalog.

2. How we use your information

  • To provide the service — match you with relevant investors or founders, surface warm-intro paths, and personalize your experience.
  • To operate, secure, and improve the platform.
  • To communicate with you (product updates, beta access). You can unsubscribe from marketing email at any time.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your personal data to train AI models.

3. LinkedIn connections & enrichment

Connecting LinkedIn is optional and requires your explicit consent. We import only your bio, picture, and connection list — used solely to enrich your profile and compute warm-intro paths for you. Your connection list is private to your account, is never shown publicly, and is never used to train models. You can disconnect and request deletion at any time.

4. How information is shared

  • Within the platform — Velo is gated. Sensitive details (e.g. your raise amount) are not shown to other users unless you choose to act on them, such as requesting an introduction.
  • Service providers — we use trusted processors to run Velo (e.g. Supabase for the database, Vercel for hosting, Resend for email, and providers for LinkedIn enrichment and AI features). They process data only on our instructions.
  • Legal — we may disclose information if required by law.
  • We do not sell personal data to third parties.

5. Your rights & choices

You can access and edit your profile at any time, unsubscribe from marketing emails via the link in any email, and request that we correct or delete your personal data by emailing us. We honor applicable data-protection rights (including under GDPR and Israeli privacy law).

6. Cookies & analytics

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and lightweight analytics to understand product usage. We do not use advertising trackers.

7. Data retention & security

We retain your data while your account is active and as needed to provide the service or meet legal obligations. We protect data with row-level access controls, encryption in transit, and least-privilege access. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to safeguard your information.

8. International transfers

Velo operates with infrastructure that may process data outside your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

9. Children

Velo is not directed to anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy; we’ll revise the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, notify you.
