Safe Harbour Statement

01

Why This Statement Exists

Orangeful builds ventures. Describing that work honestly means talking about things that have not happened yet — a venture being built, a market we think is forming, a programme cohort yet to run, a valuation methodology applied to an asset nobody has sold.

This statement explains how to read that kind of material wherever it appears: on this website, in decks and blueprints, in insight notes, on stage, in interviews, and in anything else we publish.

Read it alongside our Terms Of Use and Privacy Policy. Where a signed agreement, an offer document or a programme's own terms say something different, that document governs — not this page.

02

What Counts As Forward-Looking

A forward-looking statement is anything that is not a historical fact. In our material it usually announces itself with words like anticipate, aim, believe, could, estimate, expect, forecast, intend, may, plan, project, seek, should, target, will or would — but the absence of those words does not make a statement historical.

The following are forward-looking, and are not promises:

• Plans for ventures, divisions, programmes, products or platforms we intend to build or launch.
• Expected timelines, cohort sizes, hiring plans, geographic expansion and go-to-market sequencing.
• Estimates of market size, category growth, adoption or the direction of the orange economy.
• Projected revenue, margin, capital deployment, portfolio construction or returns.
• Valuations, appraisals, index levels and estimates of digital IP, brand or domain value.
• Statements about what a partner, portfolio company or founder is expected to achieve.
• Descriptions of a methodology's expected outcome when applied to a future asset or period.

They reflect our view on the date they were made, formed on the information we had then and on assumptions we thought reasonable at the time.

03

Risks And Uncertainties

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks. Actual outcomes may differ materially — and often do. Factors that could cause that difference include, without limitation:

This list is not exhaustive. New risks emerge, and we cannot predict them all or assess how each might affect an outcome.

04

Not An Offer, Not Advice

Nothing in our forward-looking material is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, fund interest, venture stake or financial instrument, in any jurisdiction. No such offer is made except through the offer documentation that governs it, to eligible persons, where lawful.

Nothing in it is investment, financial, legal, tax or accounting advice, or a recommendation to acquire, hold or dispose of anything. It does not account for your objectives, circumstances or needs. Take your own advice and do your own diligence.

05

Valuations, Indices And Estimates

Putting a number on a brand, a domain or a body of digital IP is an exercise in judgement, not measurement. Our valuation work — including material produced under the Softbrand methodology and data served through PrismIndex — carries the following qualifications:

• A valuation is an opinion of value on a stated date, produced under stated assumptions, for a stated purpose. Change any of those and the number changes.
• It is not an offer to transact, a guarantee of a sale price, or a statement that a buyer exists at that level.
• It depends on inputs — comparable sales, traffic, search and category data — that may be incomplete, lagging or revised.
• Index levels and market aggregates describe past observed activity. They do not forecast future activity.
• Values may move sharply, and can go down. Illiquid assets may not be realisable at any published value.

06

Third-Party And Market Data

Some of the data, research and market figures we cite come from third parties — industry reports, registries, marketplaces, analytics providers and public sources.

We select sources we consider reliable, but we have not independently verified all of them, and we do not warrant their accuracy or completeness. Third-party projections are that party's view, not ours, and are subject to the same uncertainty as our own.

07

Past Performance And Portfolio References

Where we describe ventures we have built, programmes we have run, valuations we have delivered or outcomes we have reached, those are historical and specific to their circumstances.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. A result achieved for one venture, founder or client says nothing about what will be achieved for another. Case studies and portfolio references are selected to illustrate an approach, not as a representative sample of all our work.

Naming a company, partner or platform in our material does not imply their endorsement of it, or that the relationship described is current unless we say so.

08

No Duty To Update

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made. A page on this site, a document you downloaded, or a recording of a talk may contain statements that were reasonable then and are no longer accurate.

Except where the law requires it, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement — whether because of new information, changed circumstances, or anything else. Do not treat continued availability of a page or document as confirmation that its forward-looking content still holds.

09

Reliance

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. To the fullest extent the law allows, Orangeful, its group companies and their directors, employees, partners and agents accept no liability for any loss arising from reliance on forward-looking material, or for any difference between an expected and an actual outcome.

This statement does not exclude any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Questions

If you need to know the date, assumptions or basis behind a specific forward-looking statement, or the methodology behind a published valuation or index level, ask us — we would rather answer than have the number read the wrong way.
