From yes to deal
The Deal pipeline tracks a raise from prospect to live, with each deal’s capital schedule beside what has actually landed - so the gap between promised and received is a date, not a mystery. Nothing on this page posts money: capital is recorded on Investors, where it posts to the ledger; the pipeline only plans and reconciles against it.
-
Click “New deal” when a proposal gets a yes (or a deal arrives without one): title, counterparty, the committed amount, and the expected close. It opens at Prospect.
-
Advance the stage as paper and money arrive: Prospect → Proposed → Accepted → Executed → Funded → Setup → Live (or Lost). From Executed onward the deal must name a real party and agreement - a deal can’t be “executed” with nobody on the other side.
-
Click “Schedule” and lay out the capital as tranches - each one an amount with a due date. A tranche is a promise with a date; scheduling one moves no money.
-
Record the money on Investors when it lands - that’s where a capital receipt posts to the ledger as a liability to the investor.
-
Match the receipt to its tranche. Back on the schedule, Match a receipt… attaches a posted receipt to the tranche it settles. A tranche is marked received only by matching real ledger money - there’s deliberately no “mark paid” button. Unmatch detaches it; the receipt itself is untouched.
Reading the tiles
Section titled “Reading the tiles”Committed is what counterparties agreed to put in; Received comes from matched capital receipts - the ledger’s number, not the plan’s; Outstanding is the difference. The Next due column tells you which tranche to chase this week, and the schedule flags any capital receipts sitting on the ledger with no tranche against them.
What’s next
Section titled “What’s next”- Post the capital: Record investor capital and distributions.
- Spend it and go live: Deploy capital and launch units.
