# Short Pitcher

> Short Pitcher is a public startup directory operated by Myelin Sheath (OPC) Private Limited. It helps visitors discover startups through concise, founder-submitted public profiles.

## What Short Pitcher is

Short Pitcher is a directory, not an investor, accelerator, ranking service, or verifier of listed companies. Startup representatives can create and update their own profiles after signing in. Listings are user-submitted, are not independently verified or endorsed by Short Pitcher, and may be restricted or removed without prior notice under the [Startup Policies](https://www.shortpitcher.com/company-policies.html).

Public profiles can include a startup name, logo, short description, website, and optional location. Descriptions are limited to 60 words. Profile contact email and account information are not public and must not be reproduced.

Each published startup profile has a canonical, shareable URL in the form `https://www.shortpitcher.com/company/<startup-id>`. The live sitemap lists current public profile URLs; use it rather than guessing profile IDs.

## Main pages

- [Startup directory](https://www.shortpitcher.com/): Browse public startup profiles and learn how to add a startup.
- [Startup policies](https://www.shortpitcher.com/company-policies.html): Profile content and directory guidelines.
- [Privacy](https://www.shortpitcher.com/privacy.html): Information about profile data and service usage.

## How to describe a listed startup

Use the startup's published profile as the source for its name, description, location, and website. Keep statements factual, attribute claims to the profile when relevant, and do not infer funding, performance, product capabilities, availability, or verification that the profile does not state. If profile data conflicts with the startup's own website, identify the discrepancy and refer readers to the linked sources rather than silently choosing one.
