Who operates Pentacorn, what you can expect, and how we handle your personal data.
The company behind Pentacorn
Pentacorn is operated by PENTACORN LIMITED, a company registered in England and Wales, number 12296811. Its registered office is 22 Bolton Road, London, England, W4 3TB. PENTACORN LIMITED is the controller of the personal data described in this notice. For website, programme or privacy enquiries, contact info@pentacorn.com, or write to the registered office marked “Privacy”.
Before you commit
Pentacorn is an eight-week business accelerator, currently advertised at £12,500 per participant. Cohort dates, venue, individual experts and other provisional arrangements are subject to confirmation. Joining the waitlist or submitting an enquiry does not create a contract to attend, reserve a place or require payment.
If offered a place, you will receive written participation terms before committing or paying. These will confirm eligibility, the services, total price and any applicable VAT, payment schedule, cancellation and refund arrangements, and any applicable statutory cancellation rights. This website notice is not a substitute for those participation terms.
The programme provides learning, frameworks, tools and programme-lead guidance. Participants apply these to their own businesses. Bespoke coding, product development and individually commissioned legal, tax or other professional services are not included unless separately agreed in writing. Participation does not guarantee revenue, profitability, funding, an acquisition, introductions or any particular commercial outcome.
Advice, partners and your decisions
Website articles, tools and examples are general information, not personalised legal, tax, investment or financial advice. Check material decisions with appropriately qualified advisers. Illustrative examples are not participant results. You remain responsible for your business decisions and for checking information supplied by third parties.
You are not obliged to engage an expert or partner after the programme. Any later work requires a separate agreement. Relevant referral fees or other commercial relationships will be disclosed before you are asked to decide. Introductions depend on suitability, availability and the parties’ permission.
Fair use and your rights
Provide accurate information and submit only material you are entitled to share. Do not submit unnecessary sensitive personal information, third-party customer records or trade secrets through public forms. Do not misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access or interfere with other users. Website content belongs to PENTACORN LIMITED or its licensors; material may be used for personal reference, but not republished commercially without permission.
We may update content and cannot promise uninterrupted availability. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability or statutory right that cannot lawfully be excluded. These website terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Its courts have jurisdiction, without restricting any mandatory consumer right to use the law or courts of your home jurisdiction.
Waitlist, applications and advisory enquiries
The waitlist collects your name, email, business stage and main support need. Optional fields cover your business name and description, London attendance and fee readiness. We use these to understand interest, assess likely fit and contact you about the cohort you requested. Joining is not an application or a guarantee of admission. It does not subscribe you to Pentacorn’s general email updates.
Applications and advisory enquiries may include business details, website, funding stage, financial information you choose to provide and your message. We use these to assess and respond to your request. The lawful basis is taking steps at your request before entering a contract, where applicable, and our legitimate interests in managing business enquiries and selecting a suitable cohort. We balance those interests against your rights. You can ask us to stop following up.
Required fields are needed to process the relevant form; optional fields can be left blank. Decisions on admission and introductions are made by people, not solely by automated profiling.
Subscribe to Pentacorn
Subscribing records your email address so we can send the practical thinking and programme news you requested. We rely on your consent for these marketing emails. You can withdraw it at any time by contacting info@pentacorn.com or using an unsubscribe link provided in an email, without affecting earlier lawful processing. We keep a minimal opt-out record to avoid contacting you again. Subscribing does not join the cohort waitlist. We do not add enquiry, seller or buyer contacts to this mailing list automatically.
Resource requests
Registering interest records your email address, the resource requested and any information you explicitly choose to submit with the request. We use this to manage and respond to that request, based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling requested enquiries. It does not subscribe you to general updates or join the waitlist. Some resources are still in preparation; registering interest does not trigger immediate delivery or an immediate email. Public articles can be read without registering.
Businesses, buyers and introductions
Seller submissions, buyer briefs and enquiries collect the details you enter: your name, email, any phone number, and business, financial or acquisition information. We use this to assess the submission, respond and consider a suitable introduction. The lawful basis is taking steps at your request before a contract, where applicable, and our legitimate interests in operating a business introduction service.
Private submissions are separate from public listings. Publication requires the seller’s approval. We ask permission before sharing buyer or seller contact details for an introduction; agreed recipients then handle information under their own responsibilities. Approved public listing information can be viewed and copied by third parties, including search engines. Withdrawing a listing cannot guarantee immediate removal of their cached copies.
Exchange does not handle transaction payments or contracts. Listings and seller-provided figures are not a substitute for independent due diligence, valuation or professional advice. An enquiry is not an offer, reservation or guarantee of access to a business.
Who processes information
Authorised Pentacorn personnel use submitted information to handle the relevant request. Replit provides the hosting, application database and technical infrastructure used to store submissions and operate this site. Clerk provides authentication for staff access, processing staff account details and sign-in/session information. Public visitors do not need a staff account to submit a form. See Replit’s privacy policy and Clerk’s privacy policy.
Correspondence also passes through the email providers used by us and by the sender. We may disclose necessary information to professional advisers, regulators or authorities where required by law or to establish or defend legal rights. We do not sell personal data.
Infrastructure and authentication providers may process information outside the UK. Such transfers require an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards under UK data protection law. Contact info@pentacorn.com to ask about the recipients, locations and safeguards applicable to your information. This notice does not promise UK-only storage.
How long we keep information
Unsuccessful or inactive enquiries, applications, resource requests and private Exchange submissions are deleted or anonymised within 12 months of the last meaningful contact, unless an ongoing relationship or legal obligation requires longer retention. Active waitlist records are retained while we are handling the requested cohort interest, then reviewed against the same 12-month limit. You can ask us to remove your details earlier.
Subscription records are kept until you unsubscribe or we stop the mailing list. After that, a minimal opt-out record may be retained to honour your preference. If you become a participant or client, the separate agreement and privacy information will explain retention for that relationship. Records genuinely needed for tax, legal obligations or a dispute are kept only for the applicable requirement or claim period.
Deletion is administered by the team, not promised as an automated feature. Backup and infrastructure copies may remain until the relevant provider’s retention cycle expires; they are not used to resume routine contact.
Questions, requests and complaints
Subject to applicable law, you can request access to your personal data, correction, erasure, restriction and portability; object to processing based on legitimate interests; and withdraw marketing consent. These rights are not absolute. We may need proportionate identity checks and normally respond within one month, explaining any permitted extension. Contact info@pentacorn.com with your request; there is no need to create an account.
You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. We would welcome the opportunity to address your concern first, but you do not have to contact us before complaining to the ICO.
This notice covers this website and its current enquiry services. Additional information will be supplied where a later participant or client relationship introduces new processing. Material changes to this notice will be identified here and, where appropriate, communicated directly. Last updated: 2 November 2026.
