Note to andrewpierno and Donny Mack. I'm not necessarily attacking you for copying legal notices, but it's important to ensure that such notices are accurate and relevant to your company.
For instance there is still the mention of lodging Form ADV Part 2A Brochure with the SEC. If you have not done so, this may be in fact a fraudulent claim and could get you in trouble later on.

Looks like it’s that final possibility. Yikes!
oh like you've never copied terms before lol
I copied their terms and disclosures
"Unrivaled Mentorship"... from whom? Would go a long way to throw a few VC logos up there. As-is there is zero credibility -- don't even know who's behind Seed Camp.
Yeah "who's running this?" is my first question
All the links like 'Meet our Team' go to https://seedcamp.io/disclosures#. Seems very half baked
Also we're working on the mentors at the moment and will absolutely update everyone before the first cohort! also i'm a real human, you can yell at me publicly here too https://twitter.com/AndrewPierno :)
The joke FAQ makes this seem illegitimate. I don't see why you couldn't come up with some real concerns you expect to hear and front-run them.
didn't expect people to read all the way, just wanted to do a bit of testing and see what kind of traffic would come :)
happy to add them if you have any, just updated this for you
That looks way better. It's more that it was just a strong turn-off.
I've updated the TOS / etc. thanks for pointing out the issues!
Unsure if that is significant, actively misleading, or simply coincidence. I'd lean towards the former given that both are apparently registered with the SEC, though my confidence bounds here are quite wide as I am not sufficiently knowledgeable of the rules behind company names in the US.
A final possibility that I've only just considered is that this disclosure was (poorly) copied from a16z's website.
