Why a startup stays after its first evaluation
The status describes maintenance and freshness—never ranking or investment quality. Match fit remains independent of price.
- 01Actively maintainedPaid account, confirmed core facts, and no unpublished changes.
- 02Update dueNew changes exist or confirmation is 31–45 days old.
- 03Not actively maintainedNo ongoing account or confirmation is more than 45 days old.
- 04Potentially outdatedAfter 90 days the freshness warning becomes deliberately stronger.

Common questions
Are monthly and yearly accounts available?
Yes. Monthly is the flexible default. The yearly account includes the equivalent of two months.
What happens after cancellation?
The workspace, history, and profile remain. A published profile is never bought or boosted, but its maintenance state transparently changes to “not actively maintained” and later, where applicable, “potentially outdated”.
Does a startup pay to try FoundMatter?
No. Profile drafting, self-evaluation, and preview are the free entry. The Startup Account funds ongoing visible maintenance and matching.
Do prices include VAT?
FoundMatter currently qualifies for the Austrian small-business VAT exemption; VAT is not separately charged.
