1. Investment-readiness support only
Fifth I Factory provides business-engineering and fundraising-readiness support for early-stage ventures. This may include business-model review, investor documentation, financial-model preparation, pitch development, ecosystem engagement and tactical fundraising guidance.
These activities do not themselves constitute an investment, commitment to invest, underwriting, placement, brokerage, portfolio management or assurance that a securities transaction will occur.
2. No regulated or professional advice
Website and programme information is general and educational. It is not investment, securities, legal, tax, accounting, valuation or regulatory advice and should not be relied upon as a recommendation to issue, buy, sell or hold any security.
The website does not represent that Fifth I Factory is registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India as an investment adviser, stock broker, merchant banker, alternative investment fund or other regulated intermediary. Any regulated activity will be conducted only in accordance with applicable registration, disclosure and compliance requirements.
3. No offer or solicitation
Nothing on this website is an offer, invitation or solicitation to invest in a venture, acquire securities, provide credit or participate in a fund. Venture descriptions, investor materials and programme content must not be treated as offering documents unless separately prepared and lawfully issued for that purpose.
4. No guarantee of funding or access
Admission to or participation in the programme does not guarantee funding, an investor introduction, a meeting, due diligence, a term sheet, a valuation, commercial success or the closing of a Seed or Angel round.
Investor access is subject to relevance, availability, independent investor interest and applicable confidentiality and legal requirements. Investment decisions remain entirely with the relevant investor or fund.
5. Network and outcome metrics
References to a 20–50 active investor network describe a programme-reported network range and do not mean that every participant will meet, receive feedback from or be introduced to every investor.
The $500K+ total alumni funding figure is presented as a programme-reported historical aggregate. It is not a target, forecast or promised outcome for any applicant or participant. Past funding outcomes do not guarantee future fundraising success.
6. Independent diligence and decisions
Founders and investors must conduct their own commercial, technical, financial, legal, tax and regulatory diligence and obtain independent professional advice. Fifth I Factory does not verify every statement, forecast, valuation, market estimate or assumption supplied by a founder or third party.
All decisions about fundraising structure, securities, valuation, dilution, governance, negotiations and closing remain the responsibility of the relevant founders, company, investors and their advisers.
7. Forecasts and forward-looking information
Financial models, market sizing, growth plans and fundraising narratives commonly involve assumptions and forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially because of market, execution, regulatory, financing and other risks.
Reviewing or helping prepare a forecast does not mean Fifth I Factory endorses, audits or guarantees it.
8. Independent investors and mentors
Investors, funds, mentors and professional advisers in or around the ecosystem are independent parties unless a written agreement expressly provides otherwise. Their views and decisions are their own and are not controlled or guaranteed by Fifth I Factory.
An introduction or interaction does not create an agency, fiduciary, advisory, partnership or endorsement relationship.
9. Conflicts and compensation
Any fee, success-based compensation, equity interest, referral arrangement or other material conflict connected with a specific engagement or transaction should be disclosed in writing and assessed for regulatory implications before the activity occurs.
No such arrangement should be inferred from general website content.
10. Startup and investment risk
Early-stage ventures and private-company investments involve substantial risk, illiquidity, uncertain valuation and the possibility of partial or total loss. Programme participation does not reduce or transfer those risks.
11. Questions and professional advice
Questions about a specific fundraising activity should be directed to qualified legal, tax, financial and regulatory advisers. Questions about this disclaimer may be submitted through the official Fifth I Factory communication channel used for the application or programme relationship.
