We expected to warehouse a pre-seed deal that’s now raising a Series A, though they’ve since pivoted and are now off thesis. Balancing between being on thesis vs. showing early mark ups, on which side should we err?

Top answer:

The VC Lab Assistant is correct in general. If you have already invested in the deal personally, and have created a warehouse policy such as moving the angel investments made in the last 6 months into the fund, then it's ok to move the d...

I would like to know whether Decile Hub has a feature that alerts users in the same group that a new Connector, Deal, LP etc. has been added

I would like my colleagues to be alerted by email or text when there has been activity in our Decile Hub account.  For example, say I met a founder. Once I add her contact information, meeting notes, and other relevant information in Decile Hub, I would like the option of circulate some or all of that information to my colleagues.

Unlocking Decile Hub Functionality after an upgrade

Congratulations on upgrading your Hub account! You've unlocked many powerful features, and this post will instruct you on how to enable these things. Gmail 2-way sync The Gmail sync feature will retrieve the last 10 messages for all prospects in your Hub account who have the same email address in your Gmail account. It takes a few hours for the sync to complete the first time, and then your data will be synced twice per day afterward. To enable Gmail sync, click on your profile photo in the upper-right corner of Hub, then choose Integrations from the dropdown. You will see a button to connect your gmail account. You will need to log in with your Gmail credentials and approve the permission scopes. API Access From the left nav of your Hub account, expand Settings > API, then click on API Tokens. If a token does not already exist, create a new token. Hub Chrome extension The Hub Chrome extension uses AI to read the contents of any web page and insert a new prospect into one of your pipelines. To install and enable your Hub Chrome extension, follow these steps: Download the Hub Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web store When you first launch the extension it will ask you to paste in the API key from Hub (instructions to create an API key are above). You'll only need to do this once. After the first time, all you need to do is launch the Chrome Extension when you're on a page which contains a person's info you want to import into Hub. AI Generated Email You can use AI to help generate emails and email templates within your pipelines. You will see a new tab called "AI Assistant" to the right side of your email. Make sure the "Purpose" is completed and click the "Generate" button to have AI re-create the email for you. The AI uses all your notes and past emails to customize your message.

If you have questions about Hub or unlocking functionality, please post a new question to the Hub Support channel.

If angels want to pool their money in an SPV I assume the SPV can invest in my fund?

Top answer:

Yes, however it's not a good idea to do so from a business perspective because: 1. Most SPV providers are not setup to do capital calls. As a result the costs involved in setting up an SPV that can manage capital calls is prohibitive.  ...
