Investors, M&A and dealmakers
Keep every firm's calendar honest without leaking a single deal.
Connect each firm's Google account. Tandem blocks the time on the others as plain Busy, so colleagues can't book over a confidential meeting and never see what it is.
A day in the life
A week of overlapping deals, kept apart
Sam is a partner at a fictional firm, Harbourline Capital, sits on a deal team at a second firm, and keeps a personal Gmail. Each has its own Google account, and colleagues at each firm book Sam directly.
Illustrative example. Sam, Harbourline and Juniper are made up. This is an illustration of the setup, not a customer story.
Mon
A management meeting for a project codenamed Juniper goes on the Harbourline calendar. Tandem copies it to the other firm's calendar as a block titled Busy, with no description and no attendees.
Tue
A colleague at the second firm looks for a slot on Thursday. Sam's Juniper time shows as Busy, so the colleague books around it.
Wed
Sam opens Tandem's agenda: both firms' meetings and personal plans in one list, with a conflict flag on a pair of calls that overlap across accounts.
Fri
The Juniper meeting moves. Tandem updates the Busy copy it made. It never edits or deletes anyone else's events.
How Tandem helps
Built for investors, m&a and dealmakers
Nothing leaks
Cross-post as Busy, and only as Busy
Cross-posting rules are set per pair of accounts. Pick Busy and the copy carries the time, nothing else. Use keyword exclusions to keep certain meetings off other calendars entirely.
- Busy, neutral placeholder or full details, chosen per account pair
- Keyword exclusions for meetings that should never be copied
- Copies are private by default
Clear boundaries
Tandem only edits the copies it made
Every event Tandem creates is tagged. It will update or delete those, and only those. Your originals and your colleagues' events are never touched, and turning a rule off removes its copies.
- Tagged copies, so Tandem can tell its events from yours
- Rules can be switched off any time
- Disconnect an account whenever you like

Recommended setup
How to set it up
A setup that keeps deal work private:
- Connect each firm's Google account and your personal Gmail
- Cross-post between firms as Busy, never full details
- Add keyword exclusions for codenames you never want copied
- Skip all-day and declined events so blocks stay accurate
- Create one event type per firm, booking into that firm's calendar
