At Grbfle, transparency is part of the job. We report on the companies, founders, and investors shaping the technology economy, and we hold them to standards of openness — so it is only right that we are open about ourselves in return. This Corporate Disclosure page explains who we are, how we are funded, how we keep our journalism independent, and how we handle the potential conflicts and commercial relationships that come with running a modern news publication.
We publish this page in the spirit of accountability. If anything here is unclear, or if you believe we have fallen short of the standards described, we want to hear from you using the contact details at the end.
Note: This page is a general disclosure statement describing the Site’s practices and policies. It is not legal, financial, or investment advice.
1. Who We Are
Grbfle is an independent digital news publication covering technology, startups, venture funding, artificial intelligence, and related fields. We operate the website located at grbfle.com and associated newsletters, feeds, and features (together, the “Site”).
- Publication name: Grbfle
- Nature of business: Online technology and startup news and analysis
- Principal address: 5608 Rupert St, Vancouver, BC V5R 2K5, Canada
- Contact email: [email protected]
- Contact phone: +1 403-679-1356
Grbfle is responsible for the editorial content published on the Site. Where reporting draws on external sources, those sources are cited within the relevant article.
2. Editorial Independence
Grbfle’s journalism is produced independently. Decisions about what we cover, how we cover it, and what we conclude are made by our editorial team on the basis of newsworthiness, accuracy, and the interests of our readers — not on the basis of commercial relationships, advertising, or outside influence.
Specifically:
- Advertisers and commercial partners do not control our editorial coverage. Buying advertising on the Site does not buy favorable coverage, protection from scrutiny, or influence over our reporting.
- The companies we write about do not review or approve our articles before publication, except where we quote a source’s own on-the-record statement or seek comment as part of standard reporting practice.
- We separate journalism from commercial content. Any content that is paid for, sponsored, or produced in partnership with a third party is labeled as such, as described in Section 4.
Maintaining this independence is fundamental to the trust our readers place in us, and we guard it carefully.
3. How We Are Funded
Running a newsroom has costs, and we believe readers deserve to know how we sustain our work. Grbfle’s operations may be supported by one or more of the following revenue sources:
- Advertising — display and other advertising shown on the Site, typically served through advertising partners.
- Affiliate arrangements — where we may earn a commission when readers click certain links or make purchases, as described in Section 5.
- Sponsored and partner content — clearly labeled content produced in connection with a commercial partner, as described in Section 4.
- Other legitimate business activities consistent with our editorial independence.
The presence of any of these revenue sources does not change how our editorial team reports the news. Commercial revenue funds our journalism; it does not shape it.
4. Sponsored, Paid, and Partner Content
From time to time, the Site may feature content that is paid for or produced in partnership with a third party — for example, sponsored articles, advertorials, or promotional features. When that is the case, we are committed to making it clear.
- Such content will be labeled with a designation such as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” “Advertisement,” or similar, so that you can readily distinguish it from independent editorial reporting.
- Sponsored content reflects the views and claims of the sponsor, not necessarily those of Grbfle, and we do not independently verify sponsor claims to the same standard we apply to our own journalism unless we state otherwise.
- Our acceptance of sponsored content does not imply endorsement of the sponsor’s products, services, or statements.
We reserve the right to decline any advertising or sponsored content that we consider misleading, unlawful, or inconsistent with our standards.
5. Affiliate Links and Commercial Links
Some articles may contain affiliate links or other commercial links. If you click such a link and take an action — such as signing up for or purchasing a product or service — Grbfle may receive a commission or fee, at no additional cost to you.
We want to be clear about what this does and does not mean:
- Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial judgments. We do not recommend a product or company because it pays a commission, and the presence of an affiliate link is not an endorsement.
- Where required or appropriate, affiliate or commercial links are identified so readers understand the relationship.
- Any opinions expressed about products, companies, or services remain our own and are based on our reporting.
6. No Financial, Investment, or Professional Advice
Grbfle publishes news, analysis, and commentary for general informational purposes only. Nothing on the Site constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice, and nothing on the Site is a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any security, asset, or investment, or to make any business decision.
We frequently report on valuations, funding rounds, market trends, and forecasts. This information reflects reporting available at the time of publication and may change or prove incomplete. You should not rely on our Content as the basis for financial or business decisions. Always conduct your own research and consult a qualified professional before acting. Any decision you make based on our Content is made at your own risk.
7. Accuracy, Sourcing, and Corrections
We are committed to accurate, source-driven journalism. Our editorial practices include:
- Verification. We check figures, valuations, dates, and named participants against primary sources — such as company announcements, filings, and credible reporting — before publishing.
- Labeling uncertainty. Where a claim rests on a single source or an unconfirmed report, we aim to say so plainly rather than presenting it as settled fact, and we distinguish between what is officially confirmed and what is reported.
- Attribution. Where our reporting relies on external material, we cite our sources so readers can follow the trail.
- Corrections. Journalism produced at speed can contain errors. When we become aware of a material mistake, we correct it promptly and openly rather than quietly altering the record.
If you spot an error in our reporting, please tell us using the contact details below, and we will review it.
8. Conflicts of Interest
We take reasonable steps to identify and manage potential conflicts of interest. Where a member of our team has a personal, financial, or professional interest that could reasonably be seen to affect their coverage of a particular company or topic, we aim to manage that conflict appropriately — for example, through disclosure or by reassigning coverage. If you believe a conflict has affected our reporting, we welcome you to raise it with us.
9. Third-Party Names, Trademarks, and Content
The Site refers to and reports on many third-party companies, products, and services. Any names, logos, and trademarks mentioned belong to their respective owners and are used for the purposes of news reporting, identification, commentary, and analysis. Their use does not imply any affiliation with, endorsement by, or sponsorship from those third parties unless expressly stated. Third-party quotations, figures, and cited material remain the property of their respective rights holders.

This Corporate Disclosure page should be read together with our other policies, which govern your use of the Site and our handling of information:
- Privacy Policy — how we collect, use, and protect personal information.
