Run the first close

On the date you set, every LP on the closing list is onboarded and admitted, the first call is out and LPs have the closing announcement.

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

    Let’s do the first close of Fund II on the 15th.

  • You

    We’re over the minimum, close everyone who’s signed by month end.

  • You

    Run the first close and send the first call.

The outcome

Every LP on your closing list is admitted or dropped by you, the first call and the closing announcement have gone out, and counsel has the Form D task.

What it proves

  • Runs a full investor onboarding for every LP on the list, side by side.
  • Warns you before the close if a large LP isn’t ready, and holds until you decide.
  • Waits for the close date, then needs your go-ahead before the first call is drafted.
  • Sends every LP’s first call behind one approval, each against its exact preview.
  • Hands the Form D filing to your counsel as a task.
