Is there a shortcut to reviewing potential investors for a deal?

I am new to the site as a self funded searcher and have two opportunities to share. For the first, an early stage software company in the blockchain space, I tediously tried to screen potential investors on size, sector, etc. This took quite a long time given how the site seems to work.

For the commercial boiler business opportunity, I did less screening in the interest of time. But perhaps I am missing something.

Is there an easy way to send a teaser (or not) and get back to the list of investors? When I view more detail on the investors, it takes me 3-4 steps to get back to the investor list, even if I do want to send that investor some information.

Thanks Mark. I already have two private deals with profiles and teasers.

But when I searched for investors, the preview screen is not enough to determine if the investor is appropriate (size and sector are not shown for instance). But when I view more investor detail, there is no way (that I see) to send that person the teaser from their detailed profile page. And if I don't want to send them any information, the "back" tab does not take me back to that part of the investor list.

Am I missing something?

Thanks, ^redacted‌., for the feedback. We currently do not have a shortcut. Thus, you would need have duplicate windows/tabs open. We'll put that on our to-do list as we improve the features for the community. We appreciate knowing about your experience. Many of the features you see today are based on past feedback from our users. Thanks again.
