## **Planned Investments** * Simply set the investment date of the first round to the future and Tactyc will automatically capture this investment as a planned deal ## **Constraints** * Each investment must at least have **one Investment Round** and **one Exit Round (which could be in the future)** * Note the investment date cannot be prior to the fund’s start date (if you find yourself unable to “go back in the past”, this is the reason). Please change your fund start date in that case to match your earliest investment.
