Adding Opportunity Stages
The first step in setting up the pipeline management system in AIRR is to define the stages that correspond to your investment process.
When adding a new potential Opportunity, you should supply the following
Kanban Chart for Pipeline Overview
A Kanban-style overview is available by selecting an Investment Vehicle in the Pipeline Section of the sidebar.
​
It shows the deals entered in the Deals Pipeline page, with their overview information and status clearly visible. This overview makes staying on top of an investment vehicle's activities easy.
Adding Opportunity
Management of the current pipeline is done on the first tab of the Deals Pipeline page of the AIRR portal. You can either work with the Opportunities manually or import them using the Integrations available.
AIRR provides a simple interface for GP and LPs to keep track of all the deals in an investment vehicle's pipeline.
