Public vs gated listing data
Public listing data is the factual, indexable surface that can be safely browsed and cited, while gated data covers richer investor or diligence material that should not appear in search or public schemas.
Public data
Public listing data is the factual, indexable surface that can be safely shown to anonymous users and cited by search engines or AI systems. Typical examples include company summary, sector, stage, location, trust state, freshness, and whether a company is actively raising.
The goal is not to hide everything. The goal is to make the public surface clear, useful, and low-risk while keeping it free from sensitive personal or financial details.
Gated data
Gated data covers richer founder, financial, and diligence material that should not appear in public schemas or public search contracts. That can include founder identities, detailed metrics, valuations, committed-round progress, customer concentration, and private documents.
Separating those layers makes the public product safer to index and easier to trust. It also gives the platform a cleaner path to future verified-investor and founder-approved access tiers.
