What machinezero is

A private tool for investors. It lists founders found from public sources, grades them, and keeps your own outreach and deals in one place. Every account is individual. Access is by invitation only.

What we hold about you

Your email address and name, from Google sign-in or the address you set a password on. What you do on the site: votes on grades, contacts and deals you add, comments, files you upload, and the messages you import or send through the site. Sign-in times.

Founders on the radar

Founder profiles come from public professional and academic sources and are shown only to signed-in members. A founder can ask for their entry to be removed at the address below.

LinkedIn, through your own browser

machinezero never holds a LinkedIn password or session. The machinezero Connector extension links the site to the LinkedIn tab you are signed into. Only when you press Sync now does it read your recent conversations, and only when you press Send does it send the message you typed. It reads nothing on other sites and nothing in the background.

Imported conversations go to your own machinezero account over HTTPS and nowhere else. The extension keeps one thing on your machine: a short activity log with names and counts, never message text. It paces itself like a person, one message per click, and stops for 30 minutes if LinkedIn pushes back.

Email

When you reply to a contact who only has an email address, the site opens a draft in your own mail app. It records the message only if you then mark it as sent. The site sends email itself only for password links and deals you share.

If you connect Gmail under Settings, machinezero gets read-only access to your mailbox. It only searches for three kinds of mail: mail from the addresses and website domains of your own deals, calendar invitations (Google Calendar and Calendly) so it knows who you meet with, and mail you label Radar. Matching emails are saved as updates on their deal, where only you can see them, not the people you share the deal with. From an invitation it keeps only who was invited, the event title and its time. It never sends, deletes or changes mail. Google's access token is stored encrypted and is used only for these searches.

Each saved update is summarized by an AI model (Anthropic's Claude) that Metavision Labs runs to provide this feature. Gmail data is not used for advertising, is not sold, is not used to train AI models, and is not shared with anyone except as needed to provide this feature. Our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Saved updates are kept until you delete them. Delete any update from its deal, or ask us at the address below to delete all of them. Disconnect Gmail in Settings to stop access at once and have Google revoke our token. You can also remove machinezero from your Google account's security settings.

Drafts and deck memos

Reply drafts, deck memos and the writing rules under Voice are produced by an AI model run by Metavision Labs from the thread or file in question. A draft is never sent without a click.

Blocking

Block an address, a domain, a LinkedIn profile or a conversation under Settings, Privacy. What the site holds from it is deleted and never imported again.

Where it lives

Cloudflare hosts the site, the database and the files. Google handles sign-in. Resend delivers the emails. Nothing is sold or shared with anyone else.

Cookies

One signed cookie keeps you signed in. Analytics, if enabled, is cookieless.

Your rights

Ask for a copy of what we hold, a correction, or deletion at the address below. Your contacts, threads and deals are yours alone; no other member sees them unless you share a deal with them.
