diumBatch after batch, founders ask the same forty questions.
Give each batch its own Flow, keep the answers for the next one, and let your portfolio help itself.
Credits for portfolio companies
Apply through this Page. Ask setup questions on the wall; our solutions team answers within the week.
Where the time goes today
For the program team
Answering incorporation, banking and fundraising questions again. Chasing mentors for time. Keeping the perks list current in a doc nobody opens.
For founders
Not knowing which alum already solved their exact problem, or who to ask for an intro without feeling like a burden.
A setup that works for most programs
One private Flow per batch
A Flow is a community space in Dium. Office hours, demo day prep and the questions that come with them. Invite by code so only admitted teams join.
Every company you back, in one Room
Batches sit in the same Room as the portfolio Flow, so a founder from batch 9 can message one from batch 2.
Roles
Founder, Mentor, Investor, Partner and Staff, each with their own rights.
Partner perks
Each partner gets a Page with their offer, a wall for questions and a claim button.
Portfolio jobs
Opportunity Waves collect applicants and route each one to the hiring founder.
Keep it private. Here is how.
Founders share things they would not post in public. Here is exactly what Dium does and does not do.
- Private Flows are visible only to members. Join by invite, code or your approval.
- Direct messages are scoped to the Flow or Room they started in.
- Page owners see visits and clicks on their own Page only.
- Owners and moderators can hide posts, remove members and delete a Flow.
- Sign-in cookies are Secure and HttpOnly.
Program team questions
Can mentors join without seeing everything?
Yes. A Mentor profile type can host sessions and reply, without seeing private Flows they are not a member of.
We have 400 portfolio founders. What does that cost?
Plans are per Flow, by member count: Pro 500 is $179 a month and Pro Max is $299 for unlimited. There are no per-seat fees. See pricing.
Could we run this inside our own site?
Yes, for larger programs. See partner embedding and SSO.
