What do I need to self-host?

You will need a domain, a server with PHP 7.X and MySQL 5.X. That's all! To get the latest version of the software and the startup & founder data, you will need to apply for an API Key/Secret first.

To get your API Key/Secret, please send your domain for this project to [e-mail]

Is it safe to use?

There is nothing that is 100% safe. You should always be responsible for your data security. However, the software is open-sourced, and you can feel free to examine the code and enhance it if you wish.

All the data will stay on your own server.
