Who These Terms Cover
These terms govern your use of Value Add VC (valueaddvc.com) and Value Add Pulse, both properties of Value Add Holdings LLC ("we," "us," "the site"), built by Trace Cohen. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
Not Investment Advice
Everything on this site — articles, dashboards, calculators, funding trackers, valuations, and commentary — is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or make any investment decision. Data is sourced from public reporting and company disclosures and may be incomplete, delayed, or wrong. Do your own research and talk to a licensed professional before making financial decisions. We are not liable for decisions made based on content published here.
Content Ownership and Use
Articles, data visualizations, and original analysis on this site are owned by Value Add Holdings LLC unless otherwise credited. You're welcome to link to, quote, and share our content with attribution and a link back to the original page. Republishing full articles, scraping the site at scale, or presenting our data/analysis as your own without attribution is not permitted without written permission — email t@nyvp.com.
Editorial Standards and Sponsored Content
Our sourcing, corrections policy, AI-assistance disclosure, and sponsorship rules are covered in full on our Editorial Standards page — sponsors and affiliates never affect what we publish or how we rank anything, and sponsored content is always labeled as such.
Free Tools and Calculators
Our calculators and dashboards (dilution, SAFE conversion, fund returns, valuation tools, and others) are provided as-is, free of charge, to help you think through a problem — not as a substitute for a lawyer, accountant, or fund administrator's work product. We make reasonable efforts to keep them accurate but do not guarantee correctness, and we are not liable for decisions made using their output.
Third-Party Links and Affiliate Relationships
The site links to third-party tools, articles, and services, some through affiliate relationships (see our Privacy Policy). We don't control and aren't responsible for third-party sites' content, terms, or practices — you use them at your own risk and subject to their own terms.
Acceptable Use
Please don't:
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its underlying systems.
- Scrape or bulk-download the site's content or data at a scale that degrades service for other readers.
- Use the site to distribute malware, spam, or unlawful content.
- Misrepresent your affiliation with Value Add VC, Value Add Pulse, or Value Add Holdings LLC.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The site and its content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't guarantee the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data or figure is fully accurate or current — markets and company disclosures change fast, and we do our best to keep up but can't promise perfection.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Value Add Holdings LLC and Trace Cohen are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, including financial decisions made based on its content.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms as the site and our services evolve. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Value Add Holdings LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
