Collaboration
Invite a co-GP, analyst, or adviser to edit a saved fund model. They need only a Hemrock account.
How to invite
- Open a model you own.
- Click Collaborators.
- Type the email of someone you want to edit with you. They don't need a Hemrock account yet.
- They sign in or create an account using the invited email, and the model opens with edit access.
Invites and existing collaborators are listed together in the panel. Revoke either one at any time, with or without an active license. Revoking a pending invite frees the slot it was holding.
Limits
- 5 per model. Existing collaborators plus pending invites count together.
- 5 across all your models. Same total cap, applied to your account as a whole.
Both caps are reversible. Revoke an invite or remove a collaborator and the slot is yours to reuse.
Owner vs. invitee
- Owner manages share links and collaborators, can delete the model, and must have access to the underlying product.
- Invitee needs only an account to edit. They cannot delete the model, change its share link, or manage other collaborators.
Invitees who already have a Hemrock account get access to the shared model on the email you invited. Invitees without an account get a magic-link email; after signing up with that email they return to the shared model. An invitation grants access to that model only.
Access
Collaboration is included with the owner's product access and is not sold as a separate license. Invited editors don't need their own. Qualifying Fund Economics workbook purchases and historical collaboration purchases are recognized. An active Fund Economics compute subscription also qualifies during its paid term: $20/year for 6,000 successful API/MCP calculations. Manage it in Developer access.
Browser calculations, personal editing, and saving with an account do not require payment. Read-only recipients do not need paid access. Sharing spreadsheet files is separate from hosted collaboration. A workbook or historical collaboration purchase does not grant perpetual API/MCP compute.
When product access expires
Saved models and collaboration history remain in the account. New invitations, and your collaborators' edits, follow the owner's product access shown in the account.
