Investor CRM 2.0 has enhanced new features and capabilities designed to help smart entrepreneurs raise capital
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – March 12, 2014 – Foundersuite, a comprehensive productivity solution for entrepreneurs, today announced Investor CRM 2.0, an enhanced platform that makes the fundraising process faster, simpler and smarter so that busy entrepreneurs can focus on company growth. Foundersuite is a SaaS solution uniquely designed to address the multifaceted needs of a startup company – ranging from tracking potential investors and moving them through the pipeline to following competitors, running early stage operations, and managing investor relations – all at a price point that is affordable for any entrepreneur.
“Entrepreneurs wear multiple hats and sometimes serve multiple positions simultaneously as they are starting a new business; thus, maximum productivity is key,” said Nathan Beckord, President and CEO. “We created Investor CRM 2.0 to move entrepreneurs beyond the Excel spreadsheet. With Investor CRM 2.0, CEOs can collaborate with every employee that has a hand in the funding process in real-time, regardless of location or availability, and they can track the progress of any investor lead instantly.”
The Investor CRM 2.0 module has several key functions including an auto-populate feature that instantly pulls investor information and images from AngelList and a CRM system that helps manage investor outreach, communications, and the overall process of acquiring funding. Investor CRM 2.0 offers a necessary platform for startups to organize and cultivate relationships and includes features such as:
“The road to building a startup can be incredibly overwhelming, particularly if it’s your first time,” said Nikka Umil, co-founder of Sooligan, Inc. “When Sooligan was chosen to participate in an inaugural accelerator in Northwest Arkansas, the logistics seemed unmanageable given our current headquarters are in the Bay Area. Foundersuite has allowed us to seamlessly coordinate the day-to-day investment activity in both locations. Our investors also really appreciate the ease of communication through the Foundersuite software.”
