Every raise and press hit puts more of you online. Delist removes your personal information from the internet.
Every funding announcement, press feature, and public filing puts your home address, phone number, and family details online. Your exposed data is the supply chain for the spam, scams, and harassment that follow visibility. We're removing it, and we keep it off.

Your company's public profile and your personal exposure grow in parallel. Here is exactly what happens to your data when you become a visible founder.
Fundraising creates a data event
SEC filings, public company directories, press releases, and investor announcements all feed brokers. Within weeks of close, your personal details are more accessible than they were before you raised.
Your family appears on your listing
A press feature or funding announcement makes your name more searchable, and broker listings serve up your spouse's name, your children's ages, and your home address in the same record. Their exposure is a direct side effect of your raise.
The gap between visibility and protection
Most founders don't act until something happens: a strange email, someone referencing their home address, a family member flagging an unsettling message. By then the exposure has been accumulating for months. Starting before you need to is the point.
Each media mention adds another record
Coverage, conference appearances, and professional activity generate more data broker records. Each new mention is another source for brokers to aggregate, and we remove those records as they appear.

Find where you appear
We scan data brokers, people-search sites, AI services, and public records for your name, phone, email, and address. You see exactly which sites have your information before we start removing it.
Submit removal requests
We handle opt-out submissions across every site where you appear: automated forms, CCPA and state legal deletion requests, and group resolution for sites that share operators.
Verify and follow up
Each removal is verified after processing. If a broker hasn't complied, we escalate. If they re-list your data, we re-submit. You don't have to track any of it. We do.
Scan every month
Exposure doesn't end after one cleanup. As your company grows and your profile changes, new records appear. We run a full scan every month and remove what we find, and loop you in only when a site needs you.
