# 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.

## Key takeaways

- Listing is off by default. A fund Admin turns on List in the Delsivo fund directory in Settings, under Portal, then Directory listing.
- Every new listing is reviewed by Delsivo before it appears, usually within two working days.
- After approval, changing your fund name, logo, thesis line, website, profile text or team shown sends the listing back to review, and it leaves the directory until approved.
- Stages, sectors, regions, cheque size, fund type and the applications switch can change at any time without a new review.
- The directory never shows rankings, ratings, response times or performance claims, and never shows founder data.

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](/help/portal-and-branding/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](#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.

1. **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."
2. **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.
3. **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

1. Turn on **List in the Delsivo fund directory**.
2. 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](/help/portal-and-branding/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.
