Founder Hub (for deal rooms)

What is "Founder hub"?


You can think of the founder hub as a news feed and information center for startups in your funnel. It allows you to share updates and documents with companies in your funnel and provide them with a space for having discussions with your organization and each other. 


Founder hub has three main tabs:

  1. Updates
  2. Forum
  3. Documents


  1. The following type of attachments can be added to Updates:


  • Documents – allows you to share documents along with textual updates.
  • Image – allows you to share images along with textual updates.
  • Video link – allows you to share links to videos. If you’re sharing a YouTube, Vimeo or Loom video, it will be embedded (unless settings of the specific video restrict it).
  • Event – allows you to share any deal room events on updates for companies and add some text (the event is visible only to the companies that have been invited, otherwise only the commentary text attached is visible if the text also isn't disabled).


Rich text editor is available for formatting the text in updates.


  1. Forum is visible to all companies with founder hub forum access. Discussions can be started by companies with access to Forum or your deal room members with access to founder hub.


  1. In the Documents tab you can upload documents for all the companies who have been given access to view documents in the founder hub.


Founder hub is not included in all subscription plans. For more information, please contact your account manager or Dealum support.
