Board meeting prep and follow-up

You walk into each board meeting with a prep pack, and walk out with its action items as tasks and anything that moves the valuation flagged.

PlanBoard meeting prep and follow-up

  1. Build the prep pack

    Held

    Operator brings together the company’s latest mark, what’s still open from the last board meeting and the questions worth asking.

    OperatorWaits until three days before the meeting
  2. Summarize the meeting

    Held

    Finds the meeting’s recording and, once you confirm, asks for its summary. If there is no recording yet, the plan stops and tells you.

Ask Operator

Start it in a sentence

Ask Operator in chat. It drafts the plan for your fund, and nothing runs until you release it.

  • You

    Prep me for Thursday’s board meeting and turn the notes into tasks afterwards.

  • You

    What’s still open from the last board meeting?

  • You

    Did anything at the board affect our mark?

The outcome

You walk in with a prep pack and walk out with the action items as tasks, and anything that could move the mark is flagged for the valuation.

What it proves

  • Runs on the meeting’s own clock: three days before it, and two hours after it ends.
  • Builds the prep pack from the latest mark and the last meeting’s open items.
  • Creates every task in one approval, each with an owner and a due date.
  • Flags what could move the mark and cites the passage in the transcript.
  • Stops and tells you if the recording hasn’t arrived, then carries on once it has.
  • Asks you before it summarizes, extracts or saves anything.
