Allied Venture Partners

Last Updated: April 13, 2026

Applies to: www.allied.vc, our X account (@AlliedVC), LinkedIn company page, YouTube channel (@AlliedAngels), Allied Angels podcast and explainer video series, email newsletters, and all other content distribution platforms and public social media accounts (collectively, the “Services”).

PART I — TERMS OF USE

1. Acceptance of Terms

Please read the following terms and conditions ("Terms"). They govern your use of the Services. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time; modifications are effective immediately upon posting unless otherwise noted. Continued use of the Services after any changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.

2. Intellectual Property

Except as otherwise noted on the Services, all content and materials — including information, photos, blog posts, videos, graphics, icons, code, design, and overall appearance — are the property of Allied Venture Partners ("Allied" or "Allied.vc") and may not be used, modified, or reproduced without our prior written consent. All trademarks, trade names, and logos displayed on the Services are the property of Allied Venture Partners or their respective owners. No license to use any of the foregoing is granted by the Services. The Services may not be used without the prior written permission of Allied Venture Partners.

3. Not Investment Advice

The Services are intended solely to provide general information about Allied Venture Partners, its activities, and its people. Nothing on the Services is directed at, nor should be relied upon by, any investor or prospective investor in any vehicle managed by Allied Venture Partners. Allied Venture Partners does not intend to solicit or make its investment advisory services available to the general public.

Nothing on the Services constitutes an offer to purchase or sell any security or interest in any pooled investment vehicle. Such offers are made only through confidential offering documents, and only to individuals who meet applicable qualification requirements under federal securities laws. Past results are not indicative of future results. All investments involve significant risk, including the potential loss of the entire amount invested. Any investment in a vehicle managed by Allied Venture Partners involves a high degree of risk including the risk that the entire amount invested is lost.

Any opinions expressed reflect the views of Allied Venture Partners or individual contributors and are subject to change. Allied Venture Partners has not independently verified all third-party information and makes no representations regarding its accuracy. Nothing herein constitutes investment, accounting, tax, or legal advice.

Registration with securities administrators does not imply a certain level of skill or training.

4. Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements may constitute "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual events, results, or performance may differ materially from those reflected in such statements. Allied Venture Partners expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the event it later turns out to be inaccurate — whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

5. Portfolio and Investment Disclosures

Investments, exits, or portfolio companies referenced on the Services include allocations syndicated by Allied Venture Partners, its members, or deal partners, through direct investment, special purpose vehicle (SPV), fund, or fund of funds. A list of investments is available at www.allied.vc/portfolio. Certain investments are excluded where the issuer has not provided permission for public disclosure.

Past results of Allied Venture Partners’ pooled investment vehicles, investments, or investment strategies are not indicative of future results. There can be no assurance that any AlliedVP special purpose vehicle or fund will achieve comparable results or that any future investments will be profitable.

6. “As-Is” Basis and Disclaimer of Warranties

The content of the Services is presented on an “as is” basis with no warranties, express or implied, of any kind with respect to the Services. Charts and other materials are for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon when making any investment decision.

PART II — PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how Allied Venture Partners ("Company," "we," or "us") collects, uses, and discloses personal information from users of the Services. By using the Services, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.

This Policy is incorporated by reference into Allied Venture Partners' Terms of Use. We are committed to complying with applicable Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), and the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA).

7.3 Social Media, Video & Podcast Interactions

When you view, like, comment on, subscribe to, or otherwise interact with our content on third-party platforms (X, LinkedIn, YouTube, podcast directories), those platforms independently collect and process your personal information according to their own privacy policies. We may receive aggregated or anonymized analytics from these platforms (e.g., view counts, engagement metrics, demographic insights) and publicly visible interaction data (e.g., usernames and comments you post). We do not control, and are not responsible for, the data practices of X, LinkedIn, YouTube, or any podcast hosting service.

8. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

  • Deliver and manage the newsletter and other services you have requested

We do not use your personal information for advertising targeting, do not sell your personal information to third parties, and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use only essential and analytics cookies provided by our website host, Squarespace. Our website is built on Squarespace, which automatically sets cookies strictly necessary for site functionality and performance analytics (Squarespace Analytics). These collect anonymized or aggregated data such as pages visited, session duration, referral source, and general geographic region. This data is used solely in aggregate form to improve our website and services.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, third-party tracking tools, session replay, or any non-essential Tracking Technologies. We do not engage in any cross-context behavioral advertising.

Cookie Consent: We display a cookie consent banner on the Service. You may accept or decline non-essential cookies (none are currently used). By continuing to use the Service after seeing the banner, you consent to our use of essential and analytics cookies as described. You may disable cookies at any time through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect the functionality of certain parts of the Service.

Do Not Track (DNT): We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals from browsers, but we honor all valid opt-out requests and consent withdrawals submitted through our banner or other mechanisms required by law.

Third-Party Technologies: The only third-party technologies used are Squarespace (hosting and analytics) and Beehiiv (newsletter delivery). Their use is governed by their respective privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

By using the Service, you acknowledge our use of Tracking Technologies as described. We do not sell personal information collected through Tracking Technologies.

Embedded videos, social media feeds, or links from our Services to X, LinkedIn, or YouTube may cause your browser to connect to those third-party domains. This triggers cookies, pixels, and tracking technologies set by X, LinkedIn, YouTube/Google, or their partners — none of which we control or set ourselves. Their use is governed solely by their respective privacy policies. We do not sell personal information collected through any Tracking Technologies.
