ApproveThis manages your Decile Hub Integration approvals.

When "Hurry Up and Wait" Isn't an Option

Let's be real - venture capital runs on two speeds: "We need this yesterday" and "Why hasn't this closed yet?" Between due diligence, portfolio management, and investor relations, your team's constantly juggling approvals that can't afford bottlenecks. That's where connecting ApproveThis and Decile Hub via Zapier changes the game.

ApproveThis handles the messy middle of decision-making - routing requests, chasing signatures, maintaining audit trails. Decile Hub organizes your deal flow and investor data. Together? They create closed-loop automation that keeps deals moving while maintaining compliance. No more chasing down GPs for sign-off via 17 forwarded emails. No more manually updating cap tables after approval. Just clean handoffs that make your ops team want to cry happy tears.

How This Tag Team Actually Works

ApproveThis isn't just another e-signature tool. It's built for complex approval chains typical in VC:

• Multi-stage reviews (associate → partner → investment committee)
• Conditional thresholds (auto-approve follow-ons below $250k)
• Delegation rules (because partners are always skiing in February)

Decile Hub brings the data muscle - tracking investor commitments, portfolio performance metrics, and pipeline health. The Zapier integration acts as the bridge between decision-making and data integrity.

Here's the kicker: ApproveThis approvers don't need Decile Hub licenses. External counsel approves an SPV formation? Limited partners signing off on a distribution? They interact via simple email approvals while Decile Hub automatically reflects updates. No added seat costs, no training headaches.

Real-World Scenarios That Don't Suck

1. Pipeline Prospects → Instant Diligence Triggers

When a new prospect enters Decile Hub's pipeline (say, a SaaS company raising Series A), ApproveThis automatically:

• Routes NDA requests to legal
• Triggers cap table reviews from finance
• Pings relevant partners based on industry vertical

Why it matters: A Midwest SaaS founder won't wait while your team manually assigns reviewers. Automate first touches so you look buttoned-up, not bureaucratic.

2. Approval Decisions → Clean Data Handoffs

When investment committee approves a deal in ApproveThis:

• Decile Hub auto-creates the entity record
• Portfolio company gets tagged with relevant criteria (stage, sector, lead partner)
• Calendar invites fire for first board meeting setup

Why it matters: Associates waste 6-8 hours weekly manually updating systems post-approval. That's 10% of their salary down the drain.

3. Portfolio Company Requests → Controlled Chaos

Founders constantly ask for things - secondary sales, cap table updates, intro requests. With ApproveThis embedded in Decile Hub:

• Founders submit via Decile Hub portal
• Requests route based on type (legal vs. investor relations vs. ops)
• Approved actions auto-log against company records

Why it matters: Tracking "special requests" in spreadsheets or email is how compliance gaps happen. This keeps an automatic audit trail.

Setup That Won't Make You Hate Tech

Connecting ApproveThis and Decile Hub takes 12 minutes if you can work Zapier. Here's the cheat code:

1. Pick your trigger: Most teams start with "New Pipeline Prospect" in Decile Hub
2. Map key fields: Deal size, lead partner, vertical get pushed to ApproveThis
3. Set approval rules: Who needs to approve based on deal parameters?
4. Close the loop: Send approved/denied status back to Decile Hub

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-route deals. Example: If "Deal Size ≥ $5M" and "Vertical = Climate Tech", add Climate Fund partners as approvers.

Already sweating the edge cases? ApproveThis handles delegation if approvers are OOO and thresholds for auto-approving follow-on investments. Set it once and let it ride.

Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

Investment Teams

Associates stop herding cats for signatures. Partners approve via email between meetings. IC members get structured briefs instead of fragmented Slack pings.

Portfolio Ops

Every approved board seat, secondary sale, or cap table change auto-updates Decile Hub. No more midnight data entry before investor reporting.

Finance/Legal

Version control dies. All contracts, approvals, and compliance docs link directly to Decile Hub records. Auditors suddenly seem... bearable?

The Bottom Line (Besides Saving 217 Hours/Year)

VCs live on two currencies: trust and velocity. ApproveThis + Decile Hub via Zapier lets you scale both without hiring a fleet of coordinators. Deals move faster because approvals aren't stuck in app limbo. Data stays clean because there's no human handoff. And you look like the organized partner everyone wants to work with.
