Before we give you an overview of the software, we will cover basic terminology to help you understand Dealum-specific terms better.
Deal room - a dedicated space for collecting and managing applications for one fund, network, incubator/accelerator etc. Each deal room has their own investors, processes and rules.
Application - a collection of your company's information that has been submitted to a deal room. Information is given as answers to questions. The questions are for each deal room to choose and set up.
Account - associated with an email address, and is not dependent on the number of companies or deal rooms it is part of. Deleting a company or deal room, or removing an account from company or deal room will not delete the account.
Personal settings - associated with your account, not your company. Change name, photo, contact information, notification settings, 2FA and more.
