Terms of Use

Terms for using this website.

Effective 11 August 2026. These terms govern your use of eidergroup.com. Please read them before using the site or submitting a venture inquiry.

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you, whether acting individually or on behalf of an entity ("you" or "your"), and Eider Group, LLC, a Maine limited liability company ("Eider Group," "we," "our," or "us").

By accessing or using this website, or by submitting information through any form on it, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use this website.

2. Who we are

Eider Group is a venture studio that builds and backs early-stage technology companies. We bring together product, capital, go-to-market, and operating expertise to turn strong ideas into durable businesses.

We are not a bank, broker-dealer, investment adviser, law firm, or accounting firm, and we do not hold ourselves out as any of those.

3. What this website is

This website is an informational website. It describes who we are, how we work, the capabilities we bring to venture building, and the markets we focus on, and it provides a form through which founders may tell us about a venture.

The website does not provide user accounts, subscriptions, paid services, developer interfaces, or any software product. Nothing on it is sold to you.

We may change, add, or remove any part of this website at any time without notice.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement to use this website.

If you use this website on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind that organisation to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you and that organisation.

5. No advice, and no offer of securities

Content on this website is general information about Eider Group and our point of view on venture building. It is not legal, tax, accounting, financial, regulatory, or investment advice, and it should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice from a qualified adviser.

Nothing on this website is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or interest in any fund, vehicle, or venture. Nothing on this website is an offer of investment, financing, employment, or engagement. Any such offer would be made only through separate written documentation, to eligible parties, and in compliance with applicable law.

Any description of our capabilities, process, or approach is a general description of how we work and is not a promise of any specific service, outcome, result, valuation, return, or level of support.

6. No advisory, investment, or fiduciary relationship

Using this website, submitting a form, or corresponding with us does not create any advisory, investment, agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and Eider Group.

We are under no obligation to review, respond to, evaluate, fund, build, support, or pursue any idea or venture submitted to us, and we may decline for any reason or no reason.

A relationship with Eider Group arises only if and when we sign a written agreement with you. Until then, nothing said or exchanged is binding on either of us.

7. Venture inquiries and other submissions

"Submission" means any information you send us through this website or in connection with it, including through the Start a Venture form, and any material you subsequently provide such as a description, plan, deck, or document.

You represent and warrant that:

  • you have the right to provide the Submission;
  • the Submission does not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights of any third party;
  • the Submission does not violate any confidentiality or non-disclosure obligation you owe to anyone else; and
  • the Submission is accurate and not misleading.

Please do not send us sensitive personal information, protected health information, payment card data, government identification numbers, trade secrets, or anything subject to export control or a third party's confidentiality obligations. This website is not designed to receive that kind of information.

You retain ownership of your Submission. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to receive, store, review, and internally evaluate the Submission for the purpose of considering and responding to your inquiry.

8. Submissions are not confidential unless we agree otherwise

Please read this section carefully.

Unless we have signed a separate written confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement with you that covers the Submission, your Submission is not confidential and does not create any obligation of confidence, express or implied, on our part.

We handle inquiries with discretion and we do not publish them. But we cannot accept a confidentiality obligation that arises simply because information was sent to us through a website form, and you should not send us anything you are not comfortable sharing on that basis.

If you need confidentiality before telling us the substance of your idea, tell us that first and we can discuss putting an appropriate agreement in place.

9. Independent development

We are a venture studio. We originate our own ideas, we work with other founders, and we evaluate many ventures across the markets we focus on.

You acknowledge that we may now be, or may in future be, developing, building, funding, or working with ventures that are similar to, competitive with, or overlapping the subject of your Submission, and that we may have received similar ideas from others.

Nothing in these Terms restricts our ability to pursue that work, provided we do not use a Submission in breach of a separate written agreement with you.

10. Feedback

If you send us comments, suggestions, or ideas about this website itself ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free right to use and act on that Feedback without restriction, attribution, or compensation.

We have no obligation to respond to or implement Feedback.

11. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use this website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
  • submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or impersonating information;
  • upload or transmit malicious code, malware, or anything designed to disrupt or damage the website;

15. Third-party links and services

This website may link to third-party websites, resources, or services that we do not control.

No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability affecting this website, please report it to security@eidergroup.com rather than disclosing it publicly, and give us a reasonable opportunity to address it.
