Funding
The Funding page is where you can create new funding rounds and track your active rounds.
What is the Funding page about?
How do I create a funding round?
How do I edit and delete a funding round?
How do I share my funding round?
How do I keep track of funding interests from outside of Dealum?
How to add funding round documents?
How to reach out to investors who have marked funding interest?
How to send emails to funding round participants?
You can get an overview of your active funding rounds, create funding rounds and share them.
In the Funding page you can create a new funding round. You can share the created funding round with investors you know via email or use a shareable link. Your funding round can be published to a deal room you apply to only when the deal room has made submitting an application with a funding round possible. If the funding round is created by you (whether in the funding section or while submitting an application), you will have the round lead rights in the funding round.
Deal rooms where you’ve submitted an application without a funding round can also create a funding round for your application. They can keep it hidden from you and work on it internally, or make the funding round visible to you. If they give you the right to observe the funding round, it’s up to the deal room how much information about the funding interests added by their investors they share with you. You are able to get in touch with the funding round participants through the Funding discussion, upload or link funding round documents, and add information about investors who have already committed to the funding round. The deal room can also give you the round lead rights if they wish.
With the round lead rights, you can also send emails to the funding round participants, edit the list of participating investors and their commitments, edit funding round details and share the funding round with any investors via email or shareable funding round link.
