Safety and Trust

Fairy Investing is a marketplace for real ventures and real capital. This page explains how we review ventures, how information on the platform is labeled, and how to report a concern.

How ventures are reviewed

Every venture is created by a person with an authenticated account. Before publishing, ventures complete a readiness checklist covering identity, capital plan, and disclosures. See Venture Verification for the full process.

What is self-reported

Traction, milestones, and market claims begin as self-reported information by the venture creator. Investors and contributors can attest to what they have witnessed or contributed, and those attestations become part of the venture's evidence record.

How evidence is labeled

Each return claim shows an evidence confidence level. See Return Definitions for how confidence, verifiability, and readiness are scored.

How demonstration content is identified

Any figure, portfolio, or venture that is not tied to real user activity is visibly labeled "Illustrative" or "Demonstration". Homepage previews and empty-state examples are always labeled.

Financial vs. non-financial opportunities

Some opportunities include a financial return (distribution, repayment, revenue participation, member rebate, discount, or asset appreciation). Many do not. Each venture page explicitly states which return types apply.

Reporting a concern

If a venture description is misleading, a claim is unsupported, or you experience harm, contact us via the Contact and Support page. Reports are reviewed by the platform team; ventures found in violation may be paused or removed.

Disputes

Disputes between investors and venture creators are first addressed directly. If unresolved, the platform team reviews the evidence record and applies our Community Standards.

Outcomes are not guaranteed

Every opportunity carries risk. Rewards, milestones, and community outcomes are targets, not guarantees. Backing here is donation-, reward-, preorder-, sponsorship-, or participation-based — no venture offers equity, repayment, or a financial return to you. Read each opportunity's own disclosures before committing.
