Questions founders ask

Who can join?

Student founders aged 18 or over can join from any country. A student founder studies at a university, college or other higher education institution, or graduated from one in the last three years.

What does it cost?

Founder Free costs nothing and covers your profile, your pitch and introductions. Founder Premium costs $5 a month and adds verification of your evidence. Premium is not on sale yet. It opens once IkonetU can take payments, and nobody is charged today. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.

What counts as evidence?

Anything that shows progress and can be checked counts, such as product links, usage figures, bank statements, customer references, company registration and team details.

Can I delete my profile?

You can edit your venture's details, hide your profile from investors at any time, and replace or remove your pitch. To delete your account and its data, write to privacy@ikonetu.com. IkonetU may keep some information where the law, security, fraud prevention or a dispute requires it. Account data is kept for one year after the account closes, and profile and pitch data for one year after the profile is deleted.
