The series runs 2026-08-13 through 2026-08-13, 2 posts so far, newest first below. The spread of publish dates is the cadence: the pillar is maintained, not a one-off essay collection.
A Deal Flow Scoring Framework: Rank Inbound Startups Without a Full Partner Meeting
A four-factor deal flow scoring framework for early-stage investors, with a fifth engineering-velocity factor from public GitHub data, plus calibration guidance.
Deal Flow Management for Early-Stage Investors: Capture, Triage, Score, Prioritize
A practical deal flow management system for angels and early-stage VCs: how to capture, triage, score, and prioritize inbound startups without a full-time analyst.
How this pillar fits together
"Deal Flow Management" is one of 10 topical series on the site, and its scope is deliberately narrow: how to capture, triage, score, and prioritize inbound startup opportunities so the strongest deals surface before they raise. The keyword set (deal flow management, VC pipeline management, deal flow CRM, deal scoring) marks the edges of that scope.
Each post in the grid above covers one slice of that scope, and together the 2 posts sequence from measurement (what the signals are) to workflow (what an investor does with them). Read them in publish order if you are new to the series; jump to the newest if you already run a sourcing stack.
The pillar interlocks with the dataset itself: every claim in the series cites the same weekly-recomputed methodology and the same machine-readable feeds, so the essays age as data updates rather than as opinions.
