List your fund in the directory
List your fund on delsivo.com/funds from Settings, Directory listing. Delsivo reviews each listing, and again when reviewed fields change.
The Delsivo fund directory at delsivo.com/funds lets founders find funds by stage, sector, region, cheque size and fund type, then apply on your own portal. Your fund appears only when an Admin turns listing on in Settings → Directory listing and Delsivo approves it. You write the listing; Delsivo checks it for accuracy of identity.
When your fund appears
All of these must be true:
| Condition | Where it's set |
|---|---|
| Your portal is open | Settings → Domains, Open for applications. See Publish your portal |
| Your fund and portal aren't suspended | Delsivo |
| List in the Delsivo fund directory is on | Settings → Directory listing |
| Delsivo approved the listing | Admin review |
| Nothing reviewed has changed since approval | See What sends a listing back to review |
If your portal closes, the listing is hidden and comes back when you reopen it. You don't need a new review for that.
Fill in your listing
Open Settings → Directory listing. Everyone in the fund can look; only Admins can change it. The card on the right, What founders see, updates as you type. The Ready to list bar shows how much is left.
- About tab: the One-line thesis and Fund website are required. Add a Thesis summary, What you invest in, What you don't invest in and How you decide if you want founders to read them on your profile. For example: "An analyst reads every application, a partner takes first meetings, and the investment committee meets weekly."
- Focus tab: choose your Fund type (VC fund, angel network, syndicate, accelerator, corporate VC or family office), whether you lead or follow, your Stages, Sectors and Where you invest, and your usual first cheque with its Currency (any currency; type to search). Choose Sector agnostic or Global to appear under every sector or region filter.
- Team shown tab: optional. Add up to eight people founders should see, with their title and a profile link.
Your fund name and logo come from Settings → Fund profile and your published branding. The profile address is shown under the card, for example delsivo.com/funds/northwind.
Send it for review
- Turn on List in the Delsivo fund directory.
- Click Save and send for review, then Save and send in the dialog.
The badge changes to Waiting for review and the step tracker shows Delsivo review in progress. Delsivo checks that the fund is real (its website, a company or fund registration or a regulator listing where it applies, and the partners' LinkedIn profiles), that the description is accurate, and that nothing impersonates another firm.
When it's approved, the badge shows Listed and View your profile opens your page on delsivo.com.
Accepting applications from the directory
Accepting applications from the directory is on by default. While it's on, your profile shows Apply on the fund's portal, which opens your portal's primary address with ?ref=directory, so you can see the application came from the directory. Turn it off to show Not taking applications with no Apply button. This switch never needs a review.
What sends a listing back to review
| Change | New review? |
|---|---|
| Fund name or logo | Yes |
| One-line thesis, fund website, thesis summary, what you invest in, what you don't, how you decide | Yes |
| Team shown | Yes |
| Stages, sectors, regions, cheque size, currency, fund type, lead or follow | No |
| Accepting applications from the directory | No |
Fields that need a review carry a Reviewed tag once your listing is approved. When a save would take your fund off the directory, the page says so and asks you to confirm first. The listing comes back as soon as Delsivo approves the change.
If it isn't approved or is taken down
- Not approved: the reason from Delsivo is shown in red on the page. Fix what it says and save, or click Resubmit.
- Taken down: Delsivo removed the listing, for example after a report. The reason is shown on the page. Your portal is not affected. Fix what the reason says, then click Ask for review again. Switching the listing off and on doesn't bring it back.
What the directory never shows
No rankings, no "top funds", no ratings, no response times and no claims about any fund's performance. No founder data. Every profile has a Report this fund link that goes to Delsivo.
Frequently asked questions
Does listing cost anything?
No. Listing is part of every plan. You only need an open portal.
What is the Verified domain badge?
It appears when your own domain, such as apply.yourfund.com, passed the DNS ownership check. See Connect a custom domain.
Can I take my fund off the directory?
Yes. Turn off List in the Delsivo fund directory and click Save. Your profile disappears from delsivo.com/funds within a few minutes.
Who sees my listing settings?
Everyone in your fund can see Settings → Directory listing. Only Admins can change it.
