A VC firm runs two businesses: deploying capital and tending the relationships that bring the next deal. Clarify captures both passively, from email and calendar, so the system updates itself.
A spreadsheet for LPs. A pipeline tool for deals. A notetaker for meetings. Four logins, four datasets, and partners still don’t update any of it.
Sourcing, IC progression, term sheets, passes, follow-ons. Every partner conversation should add to the firm’s memory, not live in an inbox until they leave.
LPs, co-investors, advisors, future founders: the people who bring you deals deserve their own data model, not a list bolted onto deal flow.
Adoption is the silent killer of every CRM rollout. The fix isn’t more training. It’s a system that doesn’t need updating.
Connect once. Every meeting, intro, and reply is logged against the right person, deal, and LP automatically.
No forwarding address, no intake form. Clarify reads the signals and creates the deal record before a partner remembers to.
“Which LPs haven’t heard from us in 60 days?” Plain English, real answers, from your own records.
Auto-recording, summaries, and action items on every call, logged to the right deal or LP, no second notetaker.
Who passed, when, and why. When a company comes back two years later, the context is already there.
Deal flow, LP management, portfolio, and sourcing as native objects in one data model.
A few custom objects for what’s specific to VC: the rest fits cleanly into Clarify’s core primitives, so there’s less to learn and less to maintain.
Fund I, Fund II, Opportunity Fund. Anchors LP commitments and the deals deployed from it.
An institution or individual LP. Commitments, contacts, cadence, and communication history all hang off it.
Sourced through IC, term sheet, and close, with full pass history and co-investor mapping.
