Terms of use
These terms govern your use of wilshirenetwork.com, operated by Wilshire Intelligence Network (“WIN,” “we,” “us”), a management-services organization based in Los Angeles, California. By using this site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.
1. Informational purposes only; no offer
This website is informational. Nothing on it constitutes an offer to purchase any business or securities, an offer to sell securities, or a commitment of any kind. Any transaction we pursue will be governed exclusively by definitive written agreements signed by the parties, and nothing here creates an obligation to negotiate or to enter into any agreement.
2. No professional advice; no client relationship
Nothing on this site is legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice, and nothing on it creates a professional or fiduciary relationship. WIN is not a licensed public accounting firm and does not provide attest or other services regulated under the California Accountancy Act. All regulated professional services are performed by independently operated CPA firms that are majority-owned and controlled by licensed CPAs. Consult your own advisors before acting on anything you read here.
3. Case studies and forward-looking statements
References on this site to operating companies such as Dwelly and Zinco describe other businesses in the portfolio and network of S16 and its partners. Their results are historical, relate to different companies in different markets, and are not a guarantee, prediction, or projection of the outcome of any transaction with us. Statements about plans or expectations are subject to change without notice.
4. Third-party names and trademarks
Company and fund names appearing on this site — including Perplexity, Synthesia, Miro, Intercom, Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Iconiq Capital, and DST — are the trademarks of their respective owners. They are referenced solely to describe the portfolio and founder-investor network of S16 and its partners. No sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of WIN by any of these parties is claimed or implied.
5. Unsolicited information
Do not send us confidential client records, taxpayer information, or trade secrets through this website or by unsolicited email. Information about a potential transaction should be shared only after appropriate confidentiality arrangements are in place. Our handling of personal information is described in the privacy policy.

The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We work to keep it accurate and current, but we make no warranty, express or implied, about its completeness, accuracy, or availability, and we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement to the fullest extent the law allows.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, WIN and its affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of this site, and our total liability for any claim relating to the site will not exceed one hundred dollars.
