Using Decile Hub

how can we use the decile limited partners? can we work directly with this funnel or do we need to copy the LPs into our own funnel?

I'm talking about the LPs in the Decile Research section. Is the idea for us to copy them into our own funnels or can we add infos and stages there?

which is the best way to mark a deal as "waiting for information from the startup"

I'm looking for best practices from you all. I'm pretty sure we can get away with it using a tag but I'm wondering what everyone else is using.

Can you share how partner carry is usually split among the GP?

Hi there, I see there is a very good resource on Venture Partner agreements (https://govclab.com/venture-share/). Decile Base shared there is a resource on how this is defined for the GP in itself however, the link leads to the VC Labs homepage. I am wondering if anyone has a good resource to share in this regard.

I want to track co-investors in hub - what is the best way to do this?

I want to create a co-investor pipeline. These are things I want to do with it: • Easily add folks to the list • Easily share deals via email • Share the list with our founders so they can request intros • Keep track of who we have co-invested with already & are close to • Keep track of what they invest in • Add them to our newsletter, etc. Would it make sense to track this in a new pipeline in "connectors"? Or did you see any other good solution for this? If the pipeline in connectors would make the most sense, can you create the new pipeline for our fund?

Using Decile Hub

is it possible that if I click "send email" and then use a template that the deal jumps to the according stage?

I don't just want to move the deal to "pass" to trigger the generic automated message, that's why I use the template to edit it to explain my decision. But after sending it, I need to manually move it to "pass". Is there either a way to move the deal to the according stage connected to the template I edited after clicking send automatically OR a way to move it to a stage but still edit the message?

Compensating Fundraising Advisors Without Expanding Venture Partner Pool

We’re launching a VC fund in Central Europe and have a few advisors/connectors helping with fundraising. Some expect compensation, but we’d prefer not to bring them in as venture partners to keep that group small. We’re considering a success-based fee (e.g. % of capital raised), but have a few questions: 2. Is a finder’s fee (% of capital raised) common in VC fundraising? 4. What are typical terms for this in Europe? 6. Should this come from fund expenses, the management company, or handled otherwise? Any advice, especially from a European perspective, would be much appreciated.

Is there a way to duplicate a funnel in Decile Hub? I'd like to use the same stages, actions, etc. for another funnel.

Our firm invests in deep tech and often get a lot of questions and requests for information/education. We have two newsletters that we publish. One for investors and a slimmed down version for "friends of . . . " our firm. I created a funnel for the investor newsletter. How can I duplicate that funnel (stages, actions, etc.) to use for the other newsletter without having to recreate it?

How can I delete a PACT from Hub?

We were reviewing a PACT for a potential top LP in the Decile Hub system when it auto-signed the document. We have now received a concerning email from the LP confused as to what happened. We need the PACT signature backed out of the system. Please let us know what we can do, or what can be done, but this is very urgent.

Fund Closing

Do LPs automatically move from Investor Verification Pending stage in the Closing Pipeline?

In my Closing pipeline for my start fund, I have 2 LPs in the Investor Verification Pending stage. For one of the LPs, I see a Capital Call Invoice associated but for the other, I don't see it yet. All in all, do I get notified if the LPs are verified and have been sent the capital call invoice? Also from that step to Signed AML/KYC, Unfunded, will they automatically move or do I have to look out for a notification and them manually move them?

It looks like in the pipeline stages pertinent to Fundraising/LPs the email templates use variables like PACT url. I am not able to see or use the same ones for my newsletter. I explored System variables as well as User variables. Not sure if they have more context in which they can/can't be used. Am I missing something?
