Terms & Conditions

Welcome to our Website at www.canaan.com. Your use of this Website, including the content, materials and information available on or through this Website (together, the "Materials"), is governed by these Terms of Use (these "Terms"). By using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms.

Who We Are

Our firm ("Canaan Partners") consists of a collection of investment fund and other entities. This Website is maintained and operated by Canaan Management, Inc., which provides administrative and other services to such entities. In accordance with industry custom, this Website occasionally uses terminology that may be interpreted to suggest that our firm is actually a single entity. However, there is no such single entity and all of the entities that comprise our firm have their own separate legal existence.

In accordance with industry custom, certain individuals associated with our firm may have titles that include the words "partner" or "general partner." Those titles are not intended to imply that any such individual is actually a partner of any partnership or that any specific partnership exists.
