Question 2

Adding deal room members, managing their access and exporting information about members

Accepted Answer

How to add network members or investment partners, team members and other people to my deal room?

You can add members to your deal room when you go to the ‘Members’ section and click ‘Add Member’. You need to fill in their email address and choose which access group you want to add them to. Optionally, you can write a personal message that will be included in the invitation email they will receive. They can join your deal room by going on the link in the invitation email.

If you need to invite a large number of team members, you don't have to add them one by one. Instead, you can send them a dedicated link for joining the deal room. You can find the link when you go to your deal room settings, open the 'Links' tab and scroll down to 'Member application' section. Copy the link of the member group you want to invite them to join. If you cannot find the link for a group you have created, go to the 'Members' section of the deal room, open the menu from the arrow in the right top corner of your members list, choose 'Groups setup' and make sure that application link is enabled for that group.

You could also import a large number of members. For importing deal room members, you should go to the deal room Settings, open ‘Export / Import’ tab and go to the ‘Import' section. From there you can import an Excel file with the list of your members. The file must include separate columns for: first name, last name, email, access. Access refers to the member group you wan

I started an application but decided not to apply. How can I delete the application draft?

To delete an application draft, open your company, go to 'Applications' tab and choose 'Delete' from the additional actions menu of the corresponding application.

Question 4

Visibility of company information

Accepted Answer

Who can see the information that I enter to Dealum?

Detailed information about your company is shared with only deal rooms of organizations (investor groups/events/competitions/accelerators/incubators/funds/other) you apply to with your company profile. Each organization can see only answers to the questions that are included in their application form and further due diligence process (if they have it).

You can share your shareable company page with whoever you like to by copying the shareable company page link from your company Settings or from 'Share your profile' section' in 'Applications' tab. Your shareable company page is not discoverable on Google or any other search engine and cannot be searched on Dealum. It is accessible only through the link. The link of your shareable company page is also visible to deal rooms you've applied to.

Data in applications that are not submitted yet (application drafts) is not visible to anyone.

Why is some information that I have entered missing on the shareable company page?

Shareable company page contains only limited information about your company. Some fields that might contain information that can be considered confidential (e.g. pitch deck) are not visible on the shareable company page. However, these fields are visible to deal rooms (organizations) you have applied to (in case that data was asked in their application form).

Question 5

Managing deal flow/applications in the deal room

Accepted Answer

Can I filter my deal flow/applications in my deal room?

Yes, you can filter companies in each funnel step separately. To apply filters in a step, click the 'Filter' button in Funnel view. You can filter companies by countries, stages, whether they're raising capital, application tags (if turned on in the deal room) and assignees (if turned on in the deal room).

Can I add tags to applications in my deal room? How can I enable tags in my deal room?

Yes, you can. Tags are useful for adding keywords and other short pieces of information to applications in your funnel for quick overview and filtering. To use tags, you have to have this functionality turned on in your deal room settings. To enable/disable tags, go to the 'Preferences' tab, scroll down to 'Application and member tags', tick/untick 'Enable tags' and click 'Save'. When tags are enabled, you can also set up a predefined list of application tags you want to use in your deal room. When you or your team members start adding tags to an application, they can choose tags from the list as well as add tags that are not included in the predefined list.

It is possible to add tags to an application in the funnel list view (in the 'Tags' column) as well as in the company application view (from the 'Tags' section on the right sidebar). You can also add tags to multiple company applications at once in the funnel list view. To do that, select multiple applications you want to add a tag to and choose ‘Edit tag

Question 6

Funding tab, funding rounds and indicating investment interest

Accepted Answer

What is the information that I see on the Funding tab about?

When you open the Funding tab on a company application, you can see who are the investors who are interested in investing in that specific company and what are their estimated investment amounts. You can also add your own interest and optionally hide your name and/or estimated investment amount from other deal room members (options to keep your name and amount anonymous from other members might not be available in all deal rooms). Your name and estimated investment amount will always be visible to deal room administrator(s) and the lead investor(s). You can also add tags to your funding interest to indicate any additional details about your interest. You can choose tags from a dropdown list that has been set up by deal room admins or enter free text. Setting an interest does not create any obligation to invest.

If a funding round has been created for an opportunity and this funding round has been made private by the round lead or an user who has 'View companies and create funding rounds/'Full edit' companies access and full activity access in the deal room, you can not see the names and indicated investment amounts of other investors. You can only see total amount of indications
