Today I had a meeting with a Startup founder who featured on Shark Tank India. The focus was increasing her Startup's valuation, so I was conducting due diligence. While reviewing her trademark application, I noticed she had applied for it herself, which is fine. However, I discovered she included her Aadhaar card details in the application, making her personal information—phone number, address, and more—public on the internet. Impact on Valuation: This exposure can severely affect the company's valuation by raising privacy concerns. Personal data leaks could lead to identity theft or cyber attacks, creating reputational damage and investor hesitation. Issues Faced: Apart from privacy breaches, legal complications and compliance risks may arise. It can signal poor management of sensitive data, making it harder to secure investments. Ensuring privacy protection and following the correct legal procedures are essential for maintaining trust and increasing a startup's market value.
