Can feedback be used in marketing or fundraising?

No. Capital-reader feedback should not be used in marketing or fundraising unless a specific public-use version has been approved, and even then it must be limited to accurate, non-endorsement language. 

Capital-reader feedback is not a testimonial, endorsement, investor validation, diligence approval, rating, bankability opinion, financeability opinion, investment recommendation, or capital commitment. 

Submitters must not quote capital-reader comments in pitch decks, investor decks, fundraising emails, offering documents, securities materials, websites, grant applications, procurement submissions, sponsor materials, public announcements, or social media unless the exact use has been reviewed and approved. 

Unsafe claims include: 

“Reviewed by capital readers.” 

“Investor-reviewed through GRA.” 

“Capital-reader approved.” 

“GRA capital readers validated the project.” 

“Investors in GRA expressed interest.” 

“Feedback confirms investment readiness.” 

“Ready for financing after Capital-Reader Room review.” 

A safe public statement, where true and approved, may be: 

The matter received GRA-related capital-readability feedback identifying readiness questions and diligence gaps. The feedback does not imply investment advice, investor interest, financing, endorsement, or approval.
