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

    When do we need to call capital next, and how much?

  • You

    Plan our calls for the next two quarters.

  • You

    Build a call schedule we can warn the LPs about.

The outcome

You approved the next calls with their dates, amounts and purposes, each is stored on the fund, and the first call is drafted ahead of time.

What it proves

  • Sizes the calls from live records: fees, running costs, cash and the deals about to close.
  • Saves the report the schedule rests on, so the numbers can be checked later.
  • Stores every planned call behind one approval, once you have approved the schedule.
  • Starts the first capital call ahead of its date, with no one watching the calendar.
  • Shows a junior the dates and the number of calls, and you the amounts.
