Keep capital education, venture judgement and transactions distinct.

Explain types of capital, investment logic, diligence, governance and funding readiness so young founders understand choices and costs.

Offer structured feedback on venture materials and missing information without presenting educational feedback as investment interest.

Every event should state whether it is a learning review, a public showcase or an opted-in investor interaction.

Participants may withhold sensitive material. Attendance cannot convert names, decks or contact details into automatic marketing or fundraising lists.

Multiple roles—mentor, reviewer, investor and service provider—must be disclosed before an interaction, with an alternative available where appropriate.

Personal investment, advisory, recruitment or paid-service opportunities must be separated from educational assessment and follow applicable rules and independent advice.

Programmes for minors focus on financial literacy and entrepreneurship education, not transactions without guardian involvement and professional process.

Dreams, scarce places or mentor authority must never be used to pressure a young person to transfer rights, sign documents or disclose family finances.

CIE does not promise funding, investor meetings, valuation, returns, exit or venture success, and it does not provide securities or investment advice.

No investment organisation is listed as a confirmed partner here. Any formal relationship will state its precise educational, review or funding scope.
