Where money meets recognition.

Featured founders are paying members

Featured founders hold a paid Ceolumen membership. Acceptance is decided by independent review against a published standard before any payment is asked for, and payment has no bearing on it.

Applying is free. Only founders who are accepted are offered membership, and only then is any payment asked for. Every featured profile and every founder card says “Member”.

Reviews are editorial

Ceolumen’s reviews are editorial. No company pays for a review, a score or a place in a list, and a member’s membership has no bearing on how their company’s products are reviewed.

We do not run affiliate links or sponsored placements in reviews or product lists. If that ever changes, the link or placement will say so where it appears.

Profiles are editorial

Editorial profiles of public figures. Not Ceolumen members; no endorsement implied.

The profiles at /profiles, and the photographs of the same people on the home page, are factual profiles of public figures written by Ceolumen from public sources, each listed on the profile with the date its facts were checked. The people in them are not Ceolumen members, have not been recognised by the panel and have not endorsed Ceolumen or anything it offers. Their photographs are used under free licences or are in the public domain, and each one is credited where it appears.

Ceolumen’s own ties

Ceolumen is a Stacklumen LLC product. Stacklumen LLC makes other software. Ceolumen does not review Stacklumen’s products; if it ever lists one, the listing will say who makes it.

Staff and reviewers

A reviewer with a financial, family or working tie to an applicant or a company steps aside, and the recusal is recorded with the application or the review.
