Duplicate deals
Delsivo flags deals that look like the same company, by website or a shared founder. A person reviews each suggestion; nothing is ever merged on its own.
When two deals in your fund look like the same company, Delsivo suggests them as possible duplicates. A banner on the deal page tells you, so nobody works the same company twice. These are suggestions only: nothing is merged, moved or hidden unless a person decides.
When a deal is flagged
| Reason shown | What matched |
|---|---|
| Same company website | The same website domain, from the application or from the deck |
| Same founder email | A founder with the same email address, or the same founder account |
| Same founder LinkedIn | A founder with the same LinkedIn profile |
Delsivo checks when an application is sent, and again once the deck's facts are in. A deal you add yourself is checked once its deck has been analysed.
Common hosts that say nothing about the company, such as gmail.com, linkedin.com or docsend.com, never count as a match. Founder emails are compared without being shown to anyone.
Review a suggestion
- On the deal page, the banner says This may be a duplicate. Check before you work it twice. (or 3 possible duplicates.). Click Review.
- Possible duplicates lists each other deal, with its company, the date received, its stage and the reason.
- Click Open deal to compare, then choose:
- Keep as separate if they are different companies. You see Kept as separate deals.
- Dismiss if the suggestion is wrong or no longer matters. You see Suggestion dismissed.
The suggestion then leaves the banner. Each pair is suggested once.
If the other deal is one you can't open, for example an Analyst's view of a deal they don't own, it appears as Another deal you can't open. Ask a Partner or Admin to look.
Admins, Partners and the Analyst who owns the deal can decide. If someone decided first, you see Someone already decided on this suggestion.
Merging
Merging two deals isn't available yet. The suggestions panel says so too. Keep working in one deal, and pass on the other with a reason such as "Duplicate of the portal application".
Frequently asked questions
Does Delsivo merge or delete duplicates?
No. It only suggests. A person decides, and both deals stay as they are.
Why was a deal flagged when the company names differ?
Suggestions come from websites and founders, not names. A founder who applies with a new company is flagged too, which is often worth knowing.
