Why You Need a Solid Investment OS

– A central hub for every SEIS and EIS deal
– Automatic reminders for compliance deadlines
– Streamlined due diligence checklists
Imagine checking your portfolio in one click. That’s not fantasy. It’s how you stay ahead.

Essential Templates to Get Started
Oriel IPO worked with expert creator Maximilian Fleitmann to bring you four ready-to-use templates on Notion:
- Angel Pipeline Overview
- Investment Memo Builder
- Stakeholder Contact List
- Portfolio Performance Dashboard
Why Notion? Because it’s:
– Flexible
– Collaborative
– Accessible on web and mobile
These templates are free. And they scale whether you manage two deals or twenty.
Integrations: Glue Everything Together
Your OS should talk to your favourite apps. Here’s how:
• Link your Notion database with Gmail for automatic deal status updates.
• Sync your Tax Calendar with iCal to avoid missed SEIS/EIS filing deadlines.
• Connect to Slack channels for real-time alerts when a new investor inquiry arrives.
Integrations turn investment management tools into an efficient powerhouse. You’ll ask yourself: why didn’t I do this sooner?

Advanced Tracking with Automation
Manual updating? So last decade. Let automation handle the grunt work.
- Use Zapier to funnel new PitchBook entries into your dashboard.
- Automate monthly performance reports to your investors.
- Trigger follow-up emails based on deal stage.
Pro tip: Combine these with investment management tools like Oriel IPO’s custom APIs. It’s like having a personal assistant for every startup you back.
Documenting Your Due Diligence
A messy folder equals risky investment. Keep things neat:
- Create a dedicated Notion page per startup.
- Attach key docs: cap table snapshots, investor decks, legal opinions.
- Add inline comments for quick feedback loops.
A tidy setup reduces headaches when HMRC comes knocking. And that’s a real win.
