A funding pipeline tracker that keeps itself current

Set up one board for every grant, tender and investor conversation, feed it from Raise Lens and keep it current with a weekly assistant review.

Most teams lose bids in the gaps between tools: a call spotted in an email alert, a draft in a shared drive, a deadline in someone's head. One board that holds every grant, tender and investor conversation fixes that. This guide sets up the board in the tool you already use, feeds it from Raise Lens and gives you the prompts that keep it current with ten minutes of effort a week.
