Your application status
Follow your application in your workspace on the fund's portal: its status and when it last changed, the outcome the fund sent, your deck and your reference.
Your workspace on the fund's portal shows where your application stands. Open it after you apply with Open your workspace, or sign in on the portal at any time. The Application tab shows the status the fund has set and when it last changed, your reference, your deck's progress and the answers you sent. It never shows scores or the team's notes.
The Application tab
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Status | Your current status, with a line explaining it, Updated and the date it last changed. While you wait, some funds add how soon they reply, such as "We reply within 2 weeks." |
| Reference | Your reference and the date you sent it |
| Your deck | The deck's progress: Uploaded, Virus scan, Reading slides, With the team, and Upload a new deck version |
| Check what we read from your deck | Company facts read from your deck, which you can correct until the fund decides |
| Your application | Your answers as you sent them, marked Read only |
At the bottom, Withdraw application lets you stop your application. While your deck is being processed, the page updates on its own.
What each status means
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Received | Your application arrived. The team hasn't started reviewing it yet. |
| In review | The team is reading your application and deck. |
| Interview invited | The team invited you to an AI interview. Open the Interview tab to start when it suits you. |
| Interview completed | Your interview arrived. The team will review it and be in touch. |
| Information requested | The team asked for more information. See the Requests tab. |
| Not now | The team isn't investing right now and would like to stay in touch. Their message is in Updates. |
| Decision made | The team has decided. The card says what they decided, and their message is in Updates. |
| Withdrawn | You withdrew your application. |
The fund may use its own names for these statuses, so yours can read differently. Every application starts as Received, and the fund's team decides when it moves on. An interview shows only when the fund has actually invited you to one.
When the fund decides
A decision reaches you only as a message from a person at the fund. Until it is sent, your status stays as it is. When it arrives:
- the status card shows the outcome: "The team decided not to invest.", "The team isn't investing right now and would like to hear from you again." or "The team would like to invest. They will be in touch about the next steps."
- the full message is in Updates and in your email, and Updated shows when it was sent
- any interview invitation you haven't started and any request still waiting on you close
- Check what we read from your deck turns read only, and Upload a new deck version and Withdraw application go away
Send a newer deck
On Your deck, tap Upload a new deck version and choose the file. It becomes the next version for the team, goes through the same virus scan and reading as your first deck, and your earlier version stays with the team. See Upload your pitch deck.
Withdraw your application
If you raised your round or changed your mind:
- On the Application tab, tap Withdraw application at the bottom.
- Read Withdraw your application to [the fund]? and tap Withdraw application. Keep it closes the dialog without changing anything.
You see Application withdrawn, and your status shows Withdrawn. The team stops reviewing it, any interview invitation or request from the fund closes, and nothing is emailed to anyone. Your answers stay with the fund. You can't undo this from the portal; to pick it up again, contact the fund.
Contact the fund
When the fund has set a contact address, it shows at the foot of its portal as "Questions for [the fund]? Write to ...". Replying to an email from the fund (your receipt, requests, interview invitations or its decision) also goes to that address.
What you don't see
Your workspace shows only what concerns you as the applicant. It never shows scores, the analysis of your deck, the team's notes, who at the fund owns your application or the fund's internal stages. A person at the fund makes every decision.
Other tabs
Next to Application you see Interview, Requests, Files and Updates. Requests holds any questions the fund sends you. See Answer a request from a fund. Updates holds the fund's message about its decision, the same one that arrives by email. Until the fund uses a tab, it says so, for example No interview yet.
Messages you might see
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| "You already withdrew this application." | Nothing to do |
| "This application is closed, so there is nothing to withdraw." | The fund has already sent its decision |
| "Your application changed a moment ago. Reload the page and try again." | Reload, then try again |
Frequently asked questions
Why hasn't my status changed?
Each fund reviews applications at its own pace. If the fund shows a reply time, that is its own promise. If you need an answer by a date, contact the fund.
I lost my reference. Where is it?
In the Reference card in your workspace, and in the email "We received your application to [the fund]".
Can I see how my deck scored?
No. Scores and the analysis are for the fund's team only. You can see and correct the company facts read from your deck.
Does the fund see that I withdrew?
Yes. The team sees that you withdrew, and when. They don't get a message from you unless you write to them.
