Inviting investors to your fundraise is made easy on Floww. When you send an invitation, the investor will be required to pass eligibility and verification checks before submitting a firm commitment. To help you keep track of where your investors are in this process, our platform provides you with this visibility over each investor.
In your fundraise, you will see a status linked to each Investor. To help you understand each status, below we have:
- Listed all the statuses that can be displayed on each tab in your fundraise
- A description of each status
- Where necessary, what action is required by you
