You register an account on your users&#x27; behalf, which might be against the ToS of the startups you interact with - how are you getting around Captchas in the signup process?<p>Is there a list of supported startups? Do you send an email for every registration that you created or a weekly digest? What if some of the startups have a free trial which expires after the registration? That&#x27;s potentially a big waste and also against ToS to register a second account to actually try out their services before using upgrading the account with the desired username with a paid plan.<p>Hmmm - found some answers here: <a href="https://earlyclaim.com/disclaimer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;earlyclaim.com&#x2F;disclaimer</a>
