Publishing rules
Keep startup updates useful, clear, and real.
Member posts are reviewed before they go live, so the rules are intentionally simple. The goal is a high-signal startup feed that founders can trust and readers can scan quickly.
NewsAggregate may reject, hide, remove, or permanently delete profiles and posts for prohibited industries at any time, including after publication.
Member updates may be edited for up to 24 hours after approval. Later announcements or material corrections should be published as a new update.
