Q&A
Last updated
Q&A is a structured stage of the deal room, not an open chat. The investor asks a limited number of written questions; you answer each one in your own words. The limits are deliberate — they force both sides to focus on what actually matters before diligence.
How it works
- 1The investor submits questions into the room's Q&A panel. A counter shows how many of the 10 have been used.
- 2You see each open question and answer it inline. Answers are typed — the field blocks pasting.
- 3Answered questions move to the answered list; both sides see the same thread state.
- 4When the stage completes, a Q&A report is generated and filed into the Information Vault.
Key rules & limits
- 10 questions maximum per deal room. The counter is enforced, not advisory.
- Answers are typed, never pasted. The answer field disables paste — investors are reading your thinking, not your comms team's.
- 500 characters per answer. If it needs more, it belongs in a document in the vault, referenced from the answer.
- Questions and answers are permanent once submitted — the thread is part of the deal record.
The Q&A report
Completing the stage generates a formatted, print-ready report of the full thread and pins it in the Information Vault. It travels with the deal — useful for partner meetings on the investor side, and a fair record of what was asked and answered for you.
