A weekly pipeline review template for deal teams — the format that keeps deal flow moving and surfaces stuck deals. Free to copy and adapt.
A pipeline review is the weekly meeting where a deal team walks every active deal. A good template forces brevity (each deal gets 2–3 minutes), highlights stuck deals, and records next steps with owners.
Run weekly, 30–60 minutes max. The 'signal snapshot' column lets you see at a glance which active deals are still accelerating vs plateauing — useful for deciding where to spend partner time.
Yes.
Weekly for active funds. Biweekly for slower angels. The point is cadence, not duration.
