Working your fundraising pipeline
Move investors through stages and keep the whole team aligned.
Last updated August 3, 2026
Stage model
The pipeline uses a simple, linear stage model: Prospect → Contacted → Meeting → Diligence → Committed → Closed. Add a record from discovery, from an import, or manually.
Board and list views
The board view is best for a live raise; the list view is better for bulk edits and export. Both read the same records.
Keeping momentum
- Log every meaningful touch as an outreach event.
- Set a reminder whenever you leave a conversation without a next step.
- Review anything stuck in one stage for more than two weeks.
Team visibility
Everyone attached to your company sees the same pipeline. Private notes are still scoped to your entity and never visible to the investor.
