Automatically track and prioritize AI startup investment opportunities from initial contact through due diligence meetings. Perfect for VCs and angel investors managing deal flow.

Workflow Steps

1

Airtable

Create deal flow database

Set up an Airtable base with fields for startup name, stage, sector focus (AI/ML), funding amount, contact info, and deal status. Include views for 'Active Prospects', 'Due Diligence', and 'Portfolio Companies'.

2

Zapier

Connect form submissions to Airtable

Create a Zapier automation that adds new startup applications from Google Forms, Typeform, or email to your Airtable deal flow base. Map form fields to Airtable columns automatically.

3

Slack

Send deal alerts to team

Configure Zapier to post a formatted message to your investment team's Slack channel whenever a new AI startup is added to Airtable, including key details and a link to the full record.

4

Calendly

Auto-schedule due diligence calls

When deal status changes to 'Interested' in Airtable, trigger a Zapier automation that creates a Calendly booking link and emails it to the startup founder for initial screening calls.
