Running an event in Decile Hub is easy. There are templates for promotional Content events and VIP private Conversion events. Begin with a simple, manageable gathering to build confidence and test your event management skills. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you run your first event successfully. • Choose Event Type: Start with a Venture Happy Hour using an event template in Decile Hub. This allows for easy networking in a relaxed atmosphere. • In Hub, go to “Events” in Decile Hub and click “Create an Event” at the top right. Select “Venture Happy Hour” from the template drop down. • Select Venue: Pick a local bar or cafe with a semi-private area or that is quiet. Ensure the space can comfortably accommodate 10-15 people. • In Hub, click on the event name and under “Settings”, you will be able to add the “Venue Name” and “Venue Address.” • Set Date and Time: Choose a weekday evening, typically Tuesday through Thursday, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. • In the Hub event, under “Settings”, you will see the event date and time, timezone, and duration, and set the duration for 2+ hours. • Create Guest List: Invite 20-30 potential LPs by moving , aiming for 10-15 attendees. Include a mix of current contacts and new prospects. • In Hub, go to the “Fundraising” pipeline and select LPs that you want to invite using the checkboxes. At the top in green, click “Copy” and select the event name with the stage, “Guestlist – NOT YET INVITED.” • Send Invitations: Finish the event configuration, and send the event email using Decile Hub before noon local time. • In the Hub event, under “Settings”, edit the event templates to match your style, particularly “1.a. Event Invite” and 2.a. Registered”. • In the Hub event once everything is properly set-up above, click the “Publish Event and Send Invites” button and this will automatically invite the LPs on your Guestlist using the template email. The Decile Hub template events include: Content Events Content events are public gatherings designed to attract a wide audience of potential limited partners. These events serve to build relationships and establish credibility without directly discussing fund details or investment theses. Content events typically include: • Venture Happy Hour: Organize casual gatherings to build relationships in a relaxed setting. • Venture Insights: Industry experts share market trends and insights, positioning the firm as a knowledge leader. • Founder Spotlight: Showcase successful portfolio companies or industry innovators to demonstrate the firm’s value-add capabilities. • Venture AMA: Host an “Ask Me Anything” session to engage with the community and address their questions about venture capital. • LP Networking: Facilitate connections between current and potential limited partners to foster a sense of community. Conversion Events Conversion events are private gatherings focused on converting interested LPs into investors. These events allow for more detailed discussions about fund specifics and investment opportunities. Conversion events typically include: • VIP Fund Overview: Present a comprehensive overview of the fund strategy, performance, and team. • VIP Fund AMA: Host a private “Ask Me Anything” session for qualified LPs to address specific questions about the fund. • VIP Investor Dinner: Organize intimate gatherings for high-potential LPs to facilitate relationship-building. • VIP Quarterly Update: Provide detailed updates on fund performance and portfolio companies to current and prospective LPs. • VIP LP Deal Review: Offer insights into recent or upcoming investment opportunities to showcase the firm’s deal flow and decision-making process. Managers want to run 2 public Content events for every 1 private Conversion event until they have a strong group of prospects identified, at which point managers may do 1 Content event to every 1 Conversion event or only run Conversion events.

This is a great question, and I understand your concern.  We have built Decile Hub to be entirely walled off between each of the accounts that have signed up.  What that means is the only people viewing your inserted data are the writer, the owner of the account (usually the General and Managing Partners), the teammates of the account with permission to view those areas (pipelines, deals, directory, etc), and when you need hands-on help you can turn on "VC Lab Assistant" in the team settings so that a select few Decile Super Admins from within the Decile Group team can help pull together some fixes in your account.  To expand on that latter point for peace of mind. If you have VC Lab Assistant disabled, Super Admins do not have a way to access your account. That is permission that YOU control which we might request access to briefly in the event we need to help you resolve an implementation error, or when running a 1-on-1 tutorial to walk you through certain features using your account rather than randomized demo data within our sandboxes. The third area where we can support with VC Lab Assistant is with customizing Pipeline variables. Then a fourth is with creating custom forms for startup intake, LP interest, feedback, or otherwise. Looking forward along the roadmap, we are trying to figure out how to best enable an account to opt-in to sharing isolated information to a select community along the lines of: "This is a great opportunity that just came across my radar in the biotech space, with two other decile hub funds I believe we can close this round. Here's what we have done for diligence so far. {{Fund Manager X}} you have expertise in this space, what do you think about collaborating for a co-investment?"

Typically funds invest in one currency and it's usually USD. This is because many companies with the ambition to become venture scale, usually move their HQ to a major domicile such as Delaware. VCs tend to standardize their currency for Limited Partners and investments as well and rarely go through the trouble to convert currency.

Currently, adding funds through the platform by yourself is not supported. Could you please share why you need to add a second fund? Understanding your specific needs will help us provide the best possible assistance. For example, if you're looking to fundraise for an SPV, setting up an additional SPV pipeline under our Fundraising section might be a more efficient solution than creating a new fund. Please note, we generally recommend waiting until your first fund is fully closed before adding a second one. If a second fund is essential at this stage, we can assist in setting this up for you, ensuring it aligns correctly with your goals.

User variables are data points that users create and define for specific needs. They can represent a variety of information such as a URL, a name, a date, or any other specific data that the user wants to use regularly. These variables can be inserted into email templates or documents, and they will be auto-populated with the relevant data when used. System variables are predefined data points set by the system. They represent common pieces of information that are frequently used, such as a prospect's name, a firm's name, or a link to a deck from a data room. These variables are automatically populated with the relevant data when used in emails or documents, streamlining the process of personalizing communications or documents. To summarize, the main difference between user variables and system variables lies in their creation and purpose. User variables are created by users to meet specific needs and can be customized based on the information they want to use regularly. On the other hand, system variables are predefined by the system and represent common pieces of information that are frequently used across different users. While both types of variables are auto-populated with relevant data when used, user variables offer more flexibility as they can be tailored to individual user requirements.

We are reworking this system to make it better, however, there is a workaround in the meantime that provides direct access to files through a variable to your pipeline prospects.  1. go to your folders, let's use Sample-Capital-DataRoom, as the example: https://sample.decilehub.com/data_room/folders/RnelPZGq 1. that is a dud URL i just created 2. go to the folder file you want to share in a new tab let's use "Sample-v2024-04-22" as the example 1. right click on "Presentation" click "open in new tab" 2. click on  Sample-v2024-03-22.pdf 3. you will see this as your URL: https://sample.decilehub.com/data_room/folder_files/3N9VgRnZ 3. click the carat ">" next to Fundraising in your navigation 4. right click on LP Emails, "Open in new tab" 5. you now have three tabs, the folder, the file, and an email template writer 6. in the body of your email template if you would like to send an email to someone to receive a single file you will type the following exactly 1. [[data_room.Sample-Capital-DataRoom/folder_file=3N9VgRnZ]] 2. where "Sample-Capital-DataRoom" is the name of the parent folder from step 1 3. where "3N9VgRnZ" is the path from the file URL in step 2.3 7. When you send this to a prospect in your pipeline they will receive the following in their email 1. https://sample.decilehub.com/data_room/preview/1bvZaNd37-T3St5-lLvbs-T0JwTJ?file=3N9VgRnJ 2. This will take them directly to the file you are looking to share

Currently, external users cannot directly upload files to a Decile Hub data room. If you need an external user to contribute a file, they would need to send it to an internal user who could then upload it to the Data Room. However, your suggestion for allowing external users to upload files directly to a data room is valuable and has been noted for potential future enhancements. For now, sensitive information should be securely shared via email, or other secure methods, before being uploaded to the data room.

In this Loom instruction video Travis demonstrates, step-by-step, how to grant a pipeline prospect direct access to a specific data room folder, bypassing the default authentication process that typically requires logging in. He begins by navigating through the left-side files section, explaining the conventional folder permission settings that usually necessitate user detail entry for access. Following this, Travis shows how to modify an email template in the "LP emails" section, incorporating a direct link to the data room. The process includes selecting an appropriate email template, adding a "Docs here:" prompt within the email body before the link, and saving the changes. Although this link defaults to the standard authentication method, it enables direct folder access when sent to a prospect through the customized email template. Travis wraps up by showing how sending a test email to yourself, then using the link from this email, allows you to enter the data room directly without encountering the login screen. This method effectively streamlines access for key contacts, demonstrating its utility.
