Fundraising Thread Tracker
Prerequisites
This skill needs the iGPT MCP at https://mcp.igpt.ai/.
If the MCP tools aren't available or return an auth error, tell the
user to install the iGPT plugin (/plugin marketplace add igptai/skills)
or add https://mcp.igpt.ai/ as a connector, then complete OAuth and say
"ready". Retry once after they confirm. Never invent tokens or OAuth URLs.

What This Skill Does
Scans all investor outreach and fundraising email threads to produce a full
pipeline view — where each investor conversation stands, what was last said,
what the next step is, who has gone quiet, and which conversations are most
likely to convert.
Workflow
-
Before calling any tool, collect these values from the user. Offer the
defaults and let the user override them; do not invent values they did
not give.
- [time_range] — what window of email to scan. The user may give this
in any form ("last 6 months", "the last 90 days", "May 2024",
"since the round opened"). Default: the last 6 months. Keep the
user's natural phrasing for use in the ask input; convert to ISO
dates separately for the search call.
- [investor_scope] — either "all" (default) or the name of a specific
investor or fund to focus on.
- [investor_clause] — derived. When [investor_scope] is not "all", set
to " for investor [investor_scope]". When [investor_scope] is "all",
set to empty string.
-
Call search with:
- query: term sheet investment round deck meeting intro fund interest
due diligence commit lead follow
(if [investor_scope] is not "all", append the investor name to the query)
- date_from: ISO start date derived from [time_range]
- date_to: ISO end date derived from [time_range] (or today if open-ended)
-
Call ask with:
- input: Review all fundraising and investor outreach email threads from [time_range][investor_clause]. For each investor or fund in the pipeline, determine: their current stage in the conversation, when contact was last made, what was last discussed, what the next step is and who owns it, their apparent level of interest based on email tone, and any signals suggesting they are moving toward a decision or pulling back.

-
Present ordered by conversion likelihood then by stage proximity to close.
Lead with active count, high conversion count, and gone quiet count.
-
Ask: "Would you like me to draft follow-up messages for any investors
who have gone quiet or where the next step is ours?"
