Quality is what makes this network worth trusting.
Every listing and profile on Global Deal Flow goes through the same bar. Here's exactly what's required to get listed, stay listed, and what will get a submission rejected.
A name, a number, and a city isn't a listing.
Thin submissions hurt everyone — investors can't evaluate what they can't see, and it makes every other listing on the platform look less credible by association. Here's the difference we're now requiring.
What every deal must include.
A listing won't go to review until every item below is complete. This isn't about writing a novel — it's about giving an investor enough to actually evaluate the opportunity.
Company Basics
- Legal company name & one-line description
- Industry, sector, and stage
- Headquarters location & jurisdiction
- Company website or public presence
The Opportunity
- Detailed description of the problem & solution (100+ words)
- Raise amount, round type, and use of funds
- Current traction: revenue, users, or key metrics
- Pitch deck or equivalent supporting document
Founder & Team Profile
- Complete personal profile with photo
- Professional background & relevant experience
- LinkedIn or equivalent verifiable profile link
- ID verification completed
Compliance
- Offering structured under applicable securities exemption
- No guaranteed-return or "risk-free" language
- Accurate, non-duplicated listing (one per raise)
- Valid legal entity backing the offering
What gets a listing rejected or removed.
We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or remove any listing or profile that doesn't meet these standards — including after it's already live.
Illegal Activity
Any offering, business, or product that’s illegal in its operating jurisdiction.
Fraud or Misrepresentation
False claims about traction, team credentials, or use of funds.
Spam & Duplicate Listings
The same company or raise listed more than once, or bulk-submitted content.
Guaranteed Returns
Any language promising fixed, guaranteed, or "risk-free" investment returns.
MLM & Pyramid Structures
Multi-level marketing or recruitment-based compensation models.
Unverifiable Identity
Founders or profiles that can’t complete ID verification.
Plagiarized Content
Descriptions, decks, or materials copied from another company or listing.
Unresponsive Listings
Deals that don’t respond to investor inquiries within a reasonable window may be delisted.
What happens after you submit.
Automated Check
Required fields, prohibited terms, and duplicate detection run instantly.
Manual Review
Our team reviews content quality, completeness, and compliance — typically within 1–2 business days.
Approved or Returned
Approved listings go live immediately. Returned listings get specific, actionable feedback.
Ongoing Monitoring
Listings can be flagged by investors or removed later if standards are no longer met.
Optional verification that builds trust.
Meeting the minimum gets you listed. These additional, optional verifications increase visibility and signal credibility to investors evaluating dozens of deals at once.
ID Verified
Baseline requirement for every member — confirms you are who your profile says you are.
- Government-issued ID check
- Phone number confirmation
- Verified badge on profile
KYC Confirmed
A deeper identity and source-of-funds check, common for larger raises and accredited-only rounds.
- Full Know-Your-Customer check
- Source-of-funds documentation (investors)
- Priority placement in search results
Background Checked
For founders — a professional background check covering litigation, prior business history, and public records.
- Litigation & judgment history
- Prior business registration check
- Highest-trust badge on listing
Why we enforce this.
We reserve the right to refuse or remove any listing.
Meeting the minimum requirements doesn't guarantee approval. Our review team makes the final call on whether a listing meets the bar — including for reasons not explicitly listed above, if something doesn't sit right about a submission.
Standards apply after listing, too.
A deal that stops updating, goes unresponsive to investor messages, or is later reported for inaccurate claims can be delisted — not just rejected at submission.
Rejections come with feedback.
If a listing is returned, you'll get specific reasons and the chance to fix and resubmit — this is meant to raise the bar, not to punish.
