Dearflow for Founders: Master Your Inbox, Accelerate Your Growth

As a founder, you're the CEO, lead salesperson, head of product, and chief fundraiser—all at once. Your inbox is the central nervous system of your startup, a relentless stream of investor emails, customer feedback, partnership inquiries, and team communications. Managing this chaos is a full-time job that pulls you away from what you should be doing: building your company. Dearflow is your AI chief of staff, designed to bring order to your inbox. With a smart assistant, Flora, you can automate workflows, manage key relationships, and reclaim your focus, empowering you to lead with clarity and speed.

Streamline Your Fundraising Efforts

Fundraising is a crucial, high-stakes process that lives in your email. Dearflow allows you to create a dedicated "Investor Pipeline" Space to manage every interaction. Set up rules to automatically route

• “ all emails from VC domains or messages containing keywords like "pitch deck," "term sheet," or "intro" into this space.”

This creates a clean, organized view of your entire fundraising funnel. You can track who you've contacted, who you need to follow up with, and which conversations are advancing, all without letting critical opportunities get buried under a mountain of other emails.

Automate Your Investor Relations

Keeping your current investors informed is critical, but manually sending updates is time-consuming. With Dearflow, you can create a "Investor Updates" Space to manage these communications effortlessly. Flora can automatically file incoming questions and feedback. More importantly, using the Custom Writing Style feature, you can create a template for your monthly or quarterly updates. When it's time to send one, simply tell Flora: "Draft the investor update for July using my 'Monthly Progress' template." Flora prepares the email, you add the latest metrics, and you can communicate with your key stakeholders professionally and efficiently, maintaining their confidence and support.

Never Miss a Customer or Partner Opportunity

While you're fundraising, you also need to run the business. Dearflow helps you manage inbound interest without losing focus. Create Spaces for "New Customers" or "Partnership Inquiries." Flora can automatically filter these messages and even draft initial responses based on your instructions. For example: "

• “If an email contains 'demo request,' reply with the 'Initial Sales' template and share my calendar link."

This ensures every potential customer or partner receives a prompt, professional reply, even when you're busy, ensuring you capture every opportunity for growth.

Master Your Communication and Delegate with Confidence

As your company grows, you need to delegate, but maintaining a consistent voice is essential. Dearflow allows you to create pre-approved responses for common inquiries that your assistant or team members can use. You can set up templates for everything from press inquiries to job applications. This empowers your team to handle communications effectively while ensuring every message aligns with your company's brand and tone. You stay in control, approving messages as needed, but you're freed from being the bottleneck for every communication.

Stay in Command of Your Time and Focus

Your most limited resource is your attention. Dearflow is designed to protect it. Flora acts as your gatekeeper, surfacing what's important and handling the rest. For every email, Flora suggests the most logical next action—drafting a reply, saving a contract, or creating a to-do. You have the final say with one-click Approve or Ignore buttons. When you need uninterrupted time for deep work, you can trust that your inbox is being managed. Use the Snooze feature to push non-urgent items to a later time, ensuring your focus remains on the strategic priorities that will drive your business forward.

The Result: The Founder You Need to Be

By implementing Dearflow, you're not just organizing your email; you're building a more scalable and efficient way to run your company. The hours you save on administrative tasks are reinvested into product, strategy, and team building. With automated workflows and streamlined communications, you can operate with the focus and leverage of a seasoned executive. Dearflow gives you the support you need to lead effectively and build a great company.
