Overview
A startup investor’s inbox is flooded with investment opportunities. Some from your network, others via meetings at demo days, multiple syndicate participation requests via email, and many more cold LinkedIn messages from entrepreneurs. How do the best investors keep track of all these and prioritize the ones that are worth spending time on? Spreadsheets are convenient, but provide limited tracking and automated data integration options, generic CRM solutions are too unwieldy for investors and fund management tools are built for large funds with multiple associates and data entry specialists. It is hard to prioritize, gather relevant data, manage the due diligence and collaborate with others to help move the process forward.
Solution
Zuput provides a simple and easy dealflow management solution that integrates with your existing processes and allows for easy customization to fit your needs with no programming or complex configuration required. It brings data from multiple sources to you so you can reduce the manual data entry effort. It helps you answer questions such as:
- Which are the best opportunities that fit my expertise and investment philosophy?
- Where are all the documents and files relevant to complete my due diligence?
- What is the background of the founders and how relevant is it to their market?
- Which steps of my due diligence have been completed and which still remain?
- What social proof and traction that this startup garnered?
Zuput is hosted on the cloud, highly secure and scalable. It integrates with your productivity systems such as Outlook, Gmail, cloud folders such as Dropbox and collaboration tools such as Slack.
