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. Can that task currently be accomplished in Decile Hub?

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.

We are establishing a $3.8 million USD pre-seed fund for a university accelerator to support spinoffs, collaborating with donors in Montreal, Canada. Creating a fund based on donation money vs classic LPs, of course donors are not expecting returns except tax credits. We are also open to blended model that works with the fund formed by LP money and donationI money. If you have experience in this area I would love to hear from you.

What are the challenges in hindsight. Legal, tax and accounting concerns have been addressed. My concern is how to make closing the fund successful.

Top answer:

It's virtually impossible to blend both donations and investments into one fund. Even if it was possible, the legal, setup and maintenance will be cost prohibitive. The most efficient way forward is to create a VC Fund which accepts inve...

Top answer:
