Providing additional information to deal rooms

As the contact person for a company, you might receive an email that requests "a report" or to "provide additional information". These emails are automatically generated by Dealum when a deal room wants you to either update your application or provide/update reporting data.

If you know some data about your company has updated, and you wish to update the application out of your own volition, please read this article: Finishing drafts, submitting and editing applications

Why did I get an email with a request for "a report" or "additional information"?

Some deal rooms have set up a progressive process, meaning they ask for initially relevant information when you first apply, and as your application is moved to the next steps, they will require new, more detailed information about your company. Some deal rooms occasionally update their application questions and would like you to answer them.

There's 2 types of additional information:

Update your application
Provide access to and/or update Reporting data

For both cases, the email is accompanied by a button with a link to the correct page where you can fulfill that request.

Please note that depending on the processes of the deal room, they might send custom emails (without the button with link) asking to update your application, add documents, create a funding round etc. If you are unsure how to fulfill their request, contact Dealum support. If you are unsure what the deal room meant by their request, please contact the deal room.

How do I update the data in my application once I've received the request?

When you receive an email with a request for additional information, follow these steps:

Read the email to see if there's a specific request mentioned
Click on the button "Update application" within the email
You will be taken to the application update page for that deal room
Review the information you've provided
Answer any new questions you previously haven't
Give special attention to the update request in email (if present)
Click "Complete"

Alternatively, for deal rooms to request access to reporting data and to update application answers you will also see the request on your Applications page:

The "View application" button has a red dot
There's a message underneath
And on the view application page, there's Unread notifications section, as well as a dot at the "Update information" button:

How do I provide a report once I've received the request?

With Reporting, you have two requests you may receive.

Access to reporting data
When you receive an email with a request for additional information about your company, follow these steps:

Click on the button "Update application" within the email
You will be taken to the application update page, with added "Reporting" section at the end
Review the information you've provided
Answer any new questions you previously haven't
Fill in the Reporting data
Click "Complete"

You will also be able to see the request on your Applications page, just like with application update request above.

Clicking "Complete" in this view is the equivalent of giving access to reporting data on Application page. If you do not wish to give Reporting access to a deal room, do not update your application after their request.

**Update reporting data **
When you receive an email with a request for report, follow these steps:

Click on the button "Update company reporting" within the email
You will be taken to the "Reporting" application update page
Update the Reporting data
Click "Complete"
