Know what was verified.
Every piece of evidence carries one of three labels.
The founder added it. IkonetU has not verified it yet.
IkonetU verified it against its source. The profile says what was compared and when.
A registry record or a customer reference backs it.
A label records what was verified and when. Your own diligence decides whether you invest.
Ask for an introduction.
Send a short note on why you want to talk. If the founder accepts, a conversation opens on IkonetU.

Send a short note
Every introduction is requested on IkonetU, with a short note saying why.
- 2
The founder decides
Both sides agree before a conversation opens. A founder can decline without giving a reason.
- 3
Talk on IkonetU
If the founder accepts, a conversation opens on IkonetU. Either side can report a conversation to IkonetU from the conversation page.
Questions investors ask
Who can join?
Investors aged 18 or over can join from any country.
What does it cost?
Investor Free costs nothing and covers search, pitches and introductions. Investor Premium costs $29 a month and adds verification details and the full profiles of verified founders. 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 do investors see?
With Investor Free, you see the one-minute pitch, the profile details and the founder's ask, the readiness check, the status of each piece of evidence and recent activity. Investor Premium adds what IkonetU compared, the founder's evidence summaries and the full profiles of verified founders. They never see the documents a founder uploads as evidence, and they do not see the founder's IkonetU Score.
