This Privacy Policy explains how Vencore, Inc. (“VenCore”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with vencore.ai and the VenCore platform (the “Platform”), and describes the choices and rights available to Startup Users, Investor Users, Angel Users, and Accelerator Users (together, “Users”, “you”).
VenCore’s Platform is built around AI Agents that read and analyze the information Users submit. Because that information can include highly sensitive material — cap tables, financials, legal agreements, and other Data Room content — this Policy describes that processing directly and specifically, rather than only in general terms, so that your consent is genuinely informed.
This Policy applies to personal data and business data processed through the Platform. For account information, platform usage data, and the Outputs VenCore generates, VenCore acts as the entity determining the purposes of processing (a “controller” under GDPR / “veri sorumlusu” under KVKK). For certain third-party personal data that an Investor User or Accelerator User submits about others (for example, founder details an Accelerator uploads on behalf of its cohort), the submitting User is responsible for having a lawful basis to share that data with VenCore, as set out in Section 9 and in the Terms of Service.
2.1 Account and Identity Information
Name, work email, role, and the company, fund, or program you represent.
2.2 Data Room and Submitted Content
The documents and structured data you upload or connect to the Platform. What this includes depends on your role:
Startup Users: financial statements, cap tables, pitch materials, legal and corporate documents, customer and commercial data, and other Data Room content requested for scoring, matching, or due diligence.
Investor Users (VC funds, corporate venture arms): investment thesis, sector and stage preferences, historical deal and portfolio data, and interaction data (e.g., which matches you view or reject).
Angel Users: investment preferences, check-size range, and portfolio data you choose to provide.
Accelerator Users: cohort and batch information, including data submitted on behalf of participating startups (see Section 9).
2.3 Platform-Generated Data
Scores, investor personas, matches, due-diligence memos, and other Outputs the Agents generate from the information above.
2.4 Usage and Device Data
Log data, device and browser information, and analytics information collected automatically to operate and secure the Platform.
To operate your agent floor: scouting, interviewing, scoring, matchmaking, and memo generation calibrated to your Account.
To generate the Outputs described in Section 2.3 and deliver them to you and, where you direct, to matched counterparties.
To communicate with you about your Account, security, and product updates.
To maintain the security, integrity, and reliability of the Platform.
Where you have given the separate consent described in Section 5, to develop and improve VenCore’s own AI models using anonymized, aggregated data.
This is the section we want every User to read before submitting Data Room content or other sensitive information.
4.1 Automated Processing Is Core to the Platform
VenCore’s Scout, Analyst, Matchmaker, and Counsel Agents work by sending the content you submit to automated AI systems — including large language models (LLMs) — for analysis, scoring, summarization, and matching. Some of these systems are operated in-house; others are operated by third-party AI infrastructure providers under contract with VenCore (“AI Sub-processors”). This is not an optional or occasional feature — it is how the Platform produces scores, memos, personas, and matches.
4.2 No Standing Human Access
VenCore personnel, administrators, and contractors do not have routine or standing access to your Data Room, your account screens, or the substance of the documents you submit. Your content is processed by automated systems, not reviewed by VenCore staff, unless one of the limited exceptions below applies:
You initiate a support request that requires a VenCore team member to look at specific content to help you.
VenCore reasonably believes access is necessary to investigate a security incident, fraud, or abuse of the Platform.
VenCore is required to access or disclose content to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or valid regulatory request.
Any such access is logged and limited to what is necessary for the specific purpose.
4.3 Our AI Sub-processors
AI Sub-processors receive the minimum content necessary to perform the specific analysis requested and are contractually prohibited from using your content to train their own general-purpose models or from retaining it beyond what is necessary to provide the service to VenCore, except as disclosed in Section 5. A current list of categories of AI Sub-processors (and, on request, their identities) is available by contacting info@vencore.ai.
4.4 Cross-Border Transfer
AI Sub-processors may process your content in countries other than your own, including the United States and European Union member states. Where required by GDPR, transfers outside the EU/EEA are made under Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard. Where required by KVKK, transfers outside Türkiye rely on your explicit consent (açık rıza) or another lawful transfer mechanism recognized by the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority, as reflected in the consent you provide under Section 5.
VenCore asks for two separate, specific consents, so that agreeing to one does not bundle you into the other.
5.1 Required Consent — AI Processing to Provide the Service
Before your Data Room content or other User Content reaches the Agents for the first time, you will be asked to explicitly confirm that you understand and consent to that content being processed by automated systems, including AI Sub-processors, as described in Section 4. This consent is required to use the core Platform — if you do not provide it, VenCore cannot generate scores, memos, personas, or matches for your Account, because that is what the service does.
5.2 Optional Consent — Training VenCore’s Own Models
Separately, VenCore may in the future use anonymized and aggregated data — data from which identifying details about you, your company, or your fund have been removed such that it cannot reasonably be linked back to you — to develop and improve VenCore’s own proprietary AI models. This is optional and off by default. You can turn it on or off at any time in Account Settings > Privacy, and your choice applies prospectively to data collected after you change it. Declining this consent has no effect on your ability to use the Platform.
5.3 Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw the consent in Section 5.1 at any time by contacting info@vencore.ai or from Account Settings, which will result in your Account being unable to use core scoring, matching, and memo features going forward, and by ceasing use of the Platform. Withdrawing the consent in Section 5.2 stops future use of your data for model training but does not retroactively remove your data from aggregated datasets already used to train a model as of the date of withdrawal, where that data no longer identifies you.
VenCore does not sell personal information. We share data only as follows:
With AI Sub-processors and other service providers who help us run the Platform, under confidentiality and data-processing terms.
With other Users, but only the specific information you choose to make visible for matchmaking or that you authorize to be shared with a matched counterparty.
Where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of VenCore or others.
In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to confidentiality commitments consistent with this Policy.
We retain User Content and Outputs for as long as your Account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
We use industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and monitoring designed to protect User Content, including during transmission to AI Sub-processors. No system is perfectly secure, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password and enable any available multi-factor authentication.
9.1 Startup Users
Your Data Room content is used to generate your Investment Readiness Report and Startup Quality Score and to power matching with Investor, Angel, and Accelerator Users. You control which elements of your Data Room and profile are visible to specific counterparties.
9.2 Investor and Angel Users
Your thesis, preferences, and interaction data are used to build your Investor Persona and are not shared with other Investor or Angel Users.
9.3 Accelerator Users
If you submit information about the startups in your cohort, you are responsible for providing those startups with appropriate notice and obtaining any consent or establishing any other lawful basis required under applicable data protection law (including KVKK explicit consent, where applicable) before submitting their information to VenCore. VenCore will process that information consistent with this Policy, treating you as the source through which the affected startup’s Section 5 consents are collected and documented — VenCore recommends that Accelerator Users route each cohort startup through VenCore’s own consent flow directly rather than providing consent on their behalf, wherever practicable.
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
Access the personal data we hold about you.
Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements.
Export your data in a portable format.
Object to or restrict certain processing.
Withdraw consent at any time, as described in Section 5.3.
(EU/EEA) Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
(Türkiye / KVKK) Exercise the rights listed under Article 11 of Law No. 6698, including learning whether your data has been processed and requesting correction or deletion, and lodge a complaint with the Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kurumu.
(US / CCPA-CPRA, where applicable) Know what personal information is collected, request deletion, correct inaccuracies, and opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information — VenCore does not sell personal information.
To exercise these rights, contact info@vencore.ai. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
The Platform is intended for business and professional use and is not directed to, and should not be used by, individuals under 18.
We will update this Policy as our practices evolve. If a change expands the categories of AI Sub-processors that receive your content, or changes the purposes for which anonymized data may be used, we will provide advance notice and, where required by Section 5, seek your renewed consent before the change takes effect.
