Picture this: It's 2 AM, you're three weeks from closing your Series A, and you're frantically scrolling through Slack trying to figure out if your CFO actually sent those financial projections.

Your inbox has 47 unread emails about "urgent documents." Your co-founder is asking which version of the cap table is the real one. Again.

Sound familiar?

Here's the truth: the hardest part of complex projects or deals isn't the work itself—it's the coordination chaos. The scattered tasks. The black holes where accountability goes to die. The constant "just checking in..." messages that make you want to throw your laptop out the window.

We built Diligence tracker to end this madness.

What Is Diligence tracker?

Diligence t racker is your command center for complex workflows. It's a built-in task management system that turns the chaos of stakeholder coordination into smooth, visible execution.

Create checklists. Assign tasks to internal teams and external collaborators. Track critical deadlines. Watch progress. All in one place. No more tool sprawl. No more status archaeology. Just crystal-clear visibility into what needs to happen, who's responsible, and whether it's actually getting done.

The features that actually move the needle

Reusable templates: Because you've done this before

You've refined your process over dozens of projects. Why rebuild it from scratch every time?

Build your standard checklist once—fundraising documentation, client onboarding, compliance reviews, quarterly audits—then import it via CSV for each new project. Your hard-won expertise becomes a reusable template. Setup time goes from hours to seconds.

Real-time status updates: Know where you stand, always

Stop asking "what's the status?" Diligence tracker shows you instantly.

Every task has a clear state: requested, in progress, complete, or won't do. No gray areas. No assumptions. You see who's working on what, what's overdue, what's coming up, and what's at risk. Comprehensive visibility across your entire workflow, available in seconds, not status meetings.

Folder linking: End the "where does this go?" nightmare

When you create a task requesting a document, you specify exactly where in your folder structure it should land. Assignees see the destination path clearly. No more confused emails. No more documents in the wrong place. No more hunting through messy folder structures at critical moments.

The small details that derail projects? Automated away.

Bulk management: Move fast when things change

Complex projects shift. Priorities change. Team members get reassigned. Deadlines move.

Select multiple tasks—dozens if needed—and update assignees, due dates, or statuses simultaneously. When your timeline compresses or your team structure changes, you adapt in minutes, not hours. The system keeps pace with reality.

Automated reminders: Stop playing follow-up

Automated reminder rules are based on due dates and task status. The system sends professional, context-rich notifications automatically. Each message includes what's required, when it's due, where to upload documents, and a direct link to the recipient's personalized task list.

Your team gets what they need to take action. You get your time back. No more "gentle reminder" emails at 11 PM.

Personalized task lists: Focus, not overwhelm

Your legal counsel doesn't need to see all 200 tasks in your fundraising or due diligence checklist. They need to see their 6 action items.

Every collaborator gets a personalized view showing only their assignments, organized by priority and deadline. Clean. Focused. Actionable. No cognitive overload. No confusion about what's actually theirs.

Who this changes everything for

Financial services teams coordinate due diligence, compliance documentation, client onboarding, and regulatory submissions with precision. Multiple concurrent deals stay organized. Audit trails are automatic. Nothing slips through the cracks when regulators come calling.

Founders & startups turn chaotic fundraising rounds into organized processes. Manage investor documentation requests, coordinate your team's deliverables, prepare board materials—all without drowning in coordination overhead. Your Series A doesn't have to feel like a crisis.

Venture capitalists manage portfolio company deliverables and investment committee materials across multiple deals simultaneously. Your associate isn't frantically chasing updates across ten different companies. You see the full picture, always.

Professional services firms track client deliverables, project milestones, and compliance requirements without spreadsheet hell. Your team always knows what's due, clients get what they need on time, and you maintain visibility across every engagement.

Anyone managing complex document collection and multi-stakeholder coordination finds their workload suddenly manageable.

Why this actually changes the game

The problem with complex projects isn't volume. It's visibility.

You can handle 200 tasks if you know exactly what they are, who owns them, when they're due, and whether they're getting done. You can't handle 20 tasks when you're not sure who's working on what, where things stand, or what's about to fall through the cracks.

Diligence tracker eliminates the visibility problem.

Everything lives in one system. Responsibilities are clear. Deadlines track automatically. The hours you spent coordinating? Reclaimed. The mental overhead of wondering whether things are actually getting done? Eliminated.

Your team operates with clarity instead of confusion. Stakeholders know exactly what's expected. You have real control over complex workflows instead of hoping nothing falls through the cracks.

Whether you're closing your Series B, managing a complex M&A process, coordinating compliance across multiple jurisdictions, or delivering for clients across time zones—you finally have the visibility and control to execute without the chaos.


Ready to bring order to your workflows? Diligence tracker is available now in Advanced Data Rooms. No more coordination chaos. No more status archaeology. Just clear, visible execution.
