Terms of use

Last updated 7 November 2026

Who You Know is a free directory of Australian startups, the investors behind them and the people building them. By using the site you agree to these terms.

What the directory is

• Company facts come from public sources. Each links to the page it came from, and is either checked automatically against that page or verified by our team (marked ✓).
• We work hard to keep things accurate, but facts can be out of date or wrong. Check anything important with the source or the company. Nothing here is financial, investment, career or legal advice.
• People are listed because a company named them publicly. Being listed doesn't mean someone has joined Who You Know, endorses us, or will reply to you.

Using people's names

Before we show the names of team members and advisors, we ask you to agree to the following. They also apply to founders' names and everything else on the site.

• Use the directory only to learn about companies and to reach out about genuine opportunities, one person at a time.
• Don't scrape, crawl, download or copy the directory or its lists of people, by hand or with software, scripts or AI agents, or try to get around our limits on how many pages you can view.
• Don't use it for bulk or unsolicited marketing, recruitment spam, building a database or mailing list, or anything that would harass, embarrass or harm the people listed.
• Don't combine what you see here with other information to profile people.

We may block access, and take other action available to us, if these terms are broken.

Your listing

If you're listed, you can claim, correct or remove your listing at any time. See our privacy policy. If you claim a profile, you confirm you are that person and that what you tell us is accurate.

Content and attribution

The site's design, text and the way the directory is put together belong to Who You Know. Facts and quotes remain credited to their sources. Some funding data is adapted from the Story Recruitment Australian Startup Funding Database under CC BY 4.0.

Our responsibility

Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that can't be excluded. Apart from those, the directory is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for loss arising from your use of it or from relying on information in it.

General

These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia. We may update them and will post the new version here with a new date. Questions: support@whoyouknow.au.
