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

    See if the syndicate wants in on this round.

  • You

    Poll our syndicate on the Series A allocation, deadline Friday.

  • You

    Is there enough demand to do an SPV for this deal?

The outcome

Your syndicate had the teaser and the form, you decided with every soft circle counted against the allocation, and on a go the SPV setup is underway.

What it proves

  • Sets up the form as soon as you release the plan, and publishes and sends nothing until you confirm.
  • Waits out the deadline with no one watching, then tallies every response.
  • Puts the go or no-go in your hands, with the tally and a recommendation.
  • Starts the SPV setup playbook on a go, with the deal’s details filled in.
  • Shows a junior the response count and total; you see each investor’s amount.
