Initializing workspace...
Deals arrive three ways — inbound, sourced, or as a founder application — and land in the same pipeline with the same record shape. Everything a partner does to a deal after that happens on the deal, not in a thread about the deal.
Five factors read what the founder submitted in the application. Seven read records the fund already holds. Hover a factor to see its share of the ring.
Deals move through stages carrying priority, sector and status, with separate views for inbound, outbound and founder applications. Each deal has its own page holding documents, notes, checklist items, communications, reviews and committee votes.
Founders apply through a structured form instead of emailing a deck. A half-finished application saves itself so they can come back to it, and the finished one lands directly in the pipeline as a deal with searchable answers rather than a PDF.
A 12-factor score computed from the signals that predict a follow-on. It orders the list; it does not make the decision, and every factor behind a score is inspectable.
Reminder records that fire their own emails — the layer that stops a deal going cold while everyone assumes someone else has it.
The vote sits next to the memo and the evidence it was cast on. Approve, pass and track are tallied on the record, not in a thread, so the reasoning is still there after the partner who cast it has moved on.
Per-deal checklists, and documents with internal and shared visibility held apart, so what the founder can see is a property of the file rather than a habit.
The referee gets a private link and submits directly — no account to create, nothing to install. Responses are then summarised for the file.
Structured votes with verdict tallies — approve, pass, track — recorded against the deal so the decision trail survives the partner who made it.
Assessment results arrive automatically from the provider and attach to the deal rather than to somebody’s inbox.
Every deal can have a hosted pitch page, including a founder intro video. Sharing happens through a unique link per recipient with open counts, and the deal owner is emailed when it is opened. Print-optimised and PDF versions come with it.
Google Calendar and Meet integration creates the event, adds the founder and the analyst, and sends the invitations and reminders. Meeting requests are tracked as records in their own right.
Multi-step sequences with configurable delays and personalisation fields, in email or WhatsApp format, with enrolment tracked per contact.
Venture partners and scouts get their own role and surface to refer deals and see what happened to them — the loop that normally dies in a WhatsApp message.
Start from an angel-network, seed, growth or buyout template, or from a blank one, and keep separate pipelines for separate strategies. The deal list filters by pipeline, so each team sees its own funnel.
Mark a stage as reviewed-only and only people holding that permission can move a deal into it. The rule is checked on every stage change, not just hidden in the interface.
Drag deals across the board, or select a set of rows and move them together. Each move is checked against the stages the pipeline allows, and saved views can stay private or be shared with the team.
Before committing, see what a cheque does to the fund’s ownership and to its share of the fund. Nothing is written until someone decides.
Connected mailboxes and calendars show who on the team already knows a founder or investor, how recently, and the warmest introduction path. A relationship graph maps who connects to whom, co-investors included.
One page per investor holding their deals, emails and meetings, notes, tags, a timeline and the introduction paths into them, so the person who manages the relationship and the person sourcing the deal read the same record.
Partners and analysts flag two records as the same person or company. Whoever holds merge rights reviews the pair and picks which value to keep, field by field.
Add typed fields to deals, companies, founders and investors. They filter the list and export with it, and once records hold values a field’s type cannot change and a choice still in use cannot be removed, so nothing stored vanishes.
The factors behind a DSignal Score are read from records this system already holds — the relationship graph, the round, the sector, the founder’s own submitted answers. Nothing is scraped and nothing is guessed, so a score you disagree with can be argued with by opening the rows underneath it.
It is not a mail client. Email and WhatsApp go out through the sequence engine and meetings sync through Google Calendar, but your inbox stays where it is — we do not ask you to live in a second one.
Forty minutes, a workspace shaped like your fund, and no deck. If it does not replace something you already pay for, we will say so and end early.
