How Will Investors Interact with the Content You Share via Visible?

Nick Kramer

In the world of fundraising, effective communication and transparency can set a business apart. Visible provides founders with powerful tools to keep investors informed, engaged, and confident in their vision. But what happens once you've shared an update, data room, pitch deck, fundraising pipeline, or dashboard? How do investors interact with this content?

In this article, we'll explore how each Visible feature functions from the investor's perspective, highlighting the value each solution provides and offering insights into the investor experience.

Investor Updates: Keeping Stakeholders Informed

How It Works for Investors

Once an update is shared, investors receive an email notification or an in-app alert (if they are a Visible customer). These updates are designed for founders to keep investors informed about key business metrics, growth milestones, challenges, and ask for help.

Why It Matters

  • Transparency builds trust – Investors appreciate regular insights into company performance.
  • Encourages engagement – Investors can reply to updates, ask questions, and provide feedback.
  • Saves time – Instead of investors chasing founders for information, they receive structured, digestible updates directly in their inbox.

Data Rooms: Secure and Streamlined Due Diligence

How It Works for Investors

When a founder shares a data room with a Visible contact, the investors will receive a secure link via email to access the data room. When a founder shares a data room via a link, there are additional security settings that they can optionally add, so investors may need a password or be restricted by domain access if a founder designates this. Once investors have access, they can explore financials, legal agreements, pitch decks, and more in an organized manner.

Why It Matters

  • Simplifies due diligence – All necessary documents are centralized, making it easier for investors to assess an opportunity.
  • Flexible access controls – Founders can enable or restrict downloads, add watermarks, and control document permissions.
  • Professional presentation – Custom branding options ensure the data room looks polished and credible.

Pitch Decks: Delivering Your Story with Impact

How It Works for Investors

When a pitch deck is shared from Visible, founders will provide a link to investors to view the deck. The deck is displayed in an easy-to-navigate format, and founders can track how investors are engaging with the deck content.

Why It Matters

  • First impressions count – A well-structured pitch deck can capture an investor’s interest quickly.
  • Engagement tracking – Founders can see which slides investors view and how much time they’ve spent viewing to help refine future presentations.
  • Seamless access – No need for file downloads or cumbersome attachments; investors access the deck instantly.

Fundraising Pipelines: Visibility into Your Process

How It Works for Investors

Founders can share their fundraising pipeline with existing investors, providing visibility into the status of conversations, committed funds, active discussions, and broker introductions to their investor network.

Why It Matters

  • Encourages follow-ups – Investors can see where they stand in the process and take action if needed.
  • Demonstrates momentum – Seeing other investors in the pipeline can create urgency.
  • Provides context – Investors get a clear picture of who else is involved and can help introduce founders for warm conversations.

Dashboards: A Data-Driven View of Progress

How It Works for Investors

Founders can share links to real-time dashboards that showcase key performance metrics, financials, and other important data points.

Why It Matters

  • Data-driven decision-making – Investors can quickly assess traction and performance.
  • Live updates – Instead of static reports, investors see real-time data changes.
  • Visual clarity – Custom charts and graphs help present complex information in an easily digestible format.
