Important Disclosures
Before using Ninth.vc, please read these disclosures carefully. They describe the nature of our service, the limitations of our AI systems, and important regulatory considerations.
Last updated: April 2026
Important notice - Ninth.vc is a technology platform, not a licensed financial intermediary. Nothing on this platform constitutes investment advice or a solicitation to buy or sell securities.
Not Investment Advice
Ninth.vc is a technology platform that facilitates connections between startup founders and venture capital investors. Nothing on this platform - including AI-generated scores, analysis reports, match results, or any other content - constitutes investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional advice. All content is provided for informational purposes only. Founders and investors should conduct their own due diligence and consult qualified professionals before making any investment or fundraising decisions.
Not a Registered Broker-Dealer
Fahrenheit Research LLC, operating as Ninth.vc, is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or placement agent under U.S. federal or state securities laws. We do not facilitate securities transactions, receive transaction-based compensation, or act as an intermediary in the purchase or sale of securities. Our role is limited to providing technology tools that help founders and investors discover and communicate with each other.
AI System Limitations
Our AI systems analyze pitch deck content and generate scores, summaries, and match recommendations based on patterns in data. These outputs are probabilistic in nature and subject to the limitations of the underlying models. AI analysis may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations. Scores do not predict the likelihood of funding success. Match recommendations reflect data alignment, not endorsement. We continuously work to improve accuracy, but no AI system is infallible. Users should treat AI outputs as one data point, not a definitive assessment.
Forward-Looking Statements
Pitch decks and company profiles on this platform may contain forward-looking statements, projections, and estimates provided by founders. These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Ninth.vc does not verify the accuracy of forward-looking statements made by founders. Investors should independently verify all material claims before making investment decisions. Past performance of companies or investment outcomes is not indicative of future results.
No Guarantee of Outcomes
Using Ninth.vc does not guarantee that a founder will receive investment, that an investor will find suitable deals, or that any introduction will result in a transaction. The platform facilitates discovery and communication - outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including market conditions, individual negotiations, and due diligence findings.
Third-Party Content
The platform may display information about venture capital firms sourced from public websites, databases, and other third-party sources. This information is provided for reference only and may not be current or complete. Ninth.vc does not warrant the accuracy of third-party information and is not responsible for errors or omissions in VC profiles. Investors should verify their own profile information and contact us to request corrections.
Regulatory Considerations
Securities laws vary by jurisdiction. Founders and investors are responsible for ensuring their activities on the platform comply with applicable laws in their respective jurisdictions. Ninth.vc does not provide legal advice regarding securities compliance. If you are uncertain whether your use of the platform complies with applicable law, consult a qualified securities attorney.
Conflicts of Interest
Ninth.vc may have relationships with certain investors or service providers that could create potential conflicts of interest. We are committed to transparency: we do not accept payment from investors to influence match rankings or analysis results. Our matching algorithm is based solely on data alignment between founder attributes and investor thesis. If you believe a conflict of interest has affected your experience, contact us at ethics@ninth.vc.
