Finishing drafts, submitting and editing applications

You can submit applications to BANs, a variety of funds, incubators, accelerators, event organizers, and others. In this article, we will cover the most common questions regarding submitting and editing your applications.

How to preview the whole application form without filling it?

Application questions are divided onto several pages and grouped by topics. If you want to preview all questions without filling in the current page and moving to the next page, click on the Preview button at the bottom of the screen.

Based on the answers to some questions, additional questions might be asked. Those additional questions will not be visible in the preview unless you have answered to the question they're dependent on.

Can I save a half-filled application and continue later?

If you need to leave an application unfinished, you can do so without any loss of data. Your answers are saved every time you move between different pages of the application form by clicking Back or Next at the bottom of the screen. You cannot move to the next page without having answered all required questions on the page you are currently working on but can still save the entered answers by clicking on the “Save” button. The "Save" button appears only when you have added/edited data on the current page after your progress was last saved.

Please note that saving answers on an unfinished page was successful only when you see the “Changes saved” notice appear on your screen. If you see an error instead, it means that the data you entered to the unfinished page was not saved. This might happen when you have entered an invalid input to a field for example (e.g. text to a number field). You then need to address the cause of the error and retry saving your changes after that.

You can continue to fill your application by clicking on the application link again, or by continuing the draft through Dealum.

To continue through Dealum application page, please follow these steps:

Go to https://app.dealum.com/#/home
Click on your company name
Applications page is opened
Under "Drafts" section click on the "Continue" button
You will be taken to the beginning of the application
As you go through it, you will see your previously saved answers, and can fill previously unanswered questions

Unfinished applications that have been abandoned for a longer period of time will be automatically deleted.

How do I make sure my application was successfully submitted?

Both drafts and submitted applications can be found on your Applications page. To go to your Applications page, follow these steps:

Go to Home page
Click on chosen company
Applications page is opened
If your application is in the "Unfinished section, it means that the application has not been submitted to the deal room
If your application is in the Submitted section, it means that the application has been submitted to the deal room

What do I have to do after submitting an application?

You don't have to do anything, unless you receive an email request for further actions (sometimes the evaluators may request additional information about your company during the evaluation process, which then should be provided using the link in the email notification).

Can I make changes to my application after I have submitted it?

To update the information in your chosen application, follow these steps:

Go to Home page
Click on chosen company
Applications page is opened
Find the application you wish to update
Click on the application
The detailed application view is opened
Click on "Update"
The application editing view is opened
Make your changes (you will have to go through all the sections)
Click "Complete" at the end
Click "Open company" to go back to your Applications page

We recommend to notify the corresponding deal room (organization) about the changes in your application to make sure that they will check your up-to-date data.

Why is there no "Update" button under my application?

You can read more about the "Update" button in here.

How to view an application I've submitted?

There are two options to view the application data that has been submitted to a deal room:

Updating the application allows you to go through all the answers the deal room currently has access to and update them where needed.
You can always click on "Application" in the application details view top bar. This option is available even when the update option is not.

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

If you've decided to not apply, but have already started with the application, you can just delete the draft:

Go to https://app.dealum.com/#/home
Click on your company name
Applications page is opened
Locate the application you want to delete in the "Unfinished" section
Click on "Delete"
Confirmation window pops up
Click on "Delete" again

How can I submit a new application?

You can submit a new application to a deal room where you have already applied before only when your previous application has been moved to a closed state in that deal room. A closed state is a status that is either Complete or Archived. If your application Status is anything else, you cannot submit another application with the same company.

If you've been asked to fill in a new application and your application status is something other than "Archived" or "Complete", please contact the deal room through the Application discussion and ask them to move your application to an Archive or Complete step.

To submit a new application, please follow the next steps:

Go back to the organization's application link
Click on 'Continue' to move forward from the application intro page
Select your existing company to apply with
Click on 'Continue'
Go through the application process and update information if needed
Submit the new application

Please note that when your application status is not Complete or Archived, clicking on the application link will take you to update your current application. Clicking on the link will not create a new application until the deal room has moved your previous application to Complete or Archived.

Why is there no "Submit" button?

If you do not see a Submit button at the end of all your provided answers, then you are in company profile view and not filling an application. Please enter Dealum from the application link of the organization which you are looking to share your company information with.
