VC portfolio management software for a small fund, and the four vc portfolio management tools it runs each quarter
- Revenue growth year on year, percent
- 50
- Runway, months
- 12.5
- Headcount change, percent
- 12.5
Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. LPreportly publishes no valuation, no benchmark multiple, no target growth rate and no loss ratio of its own: the marks, the KPIs and the ownership are your fund's own figures.
VC portfolio management software is searched for by the operating partner or portfolio lead at a small venture fund who has forty companies, a quarterly update from each that arrives in a different shape, and a partners' review that needs the marks to agree with last quarter's. A venture fund's record differs from a buyout fund's in one respect: the holdings are many, small and mostly unrealised, so the KPIs matter more than the marks and most of the portfolio's value is on paper for years. What the software has to hold is the holdings with cost, ownership, mark and KPIs by quarter, and what it has to work is each company's review from those KPIs. This guide walks what vc portfolio management software has to keep and work, and the free portfolio company management review sheet on this site builds one company's quarter from your own figures with no account.

Many holdings, mostly unrealised: KPIs over marks
A venture fund's holdings are marked at the last round and move rarely, so the quarter's information is the KPIs: revenue, cash, burn, runway, headcount, whatever the fund collects. Filed by quarter against each company, the KPIs are the review's substance and the mark is its footnote.
Run the four tools, free, before you keep anything
One position worked from cost, ownership and the fund's mark: 12% of a company marked at $60,000,000 is $7,200,000, $3,200,000 above its $4,000,000 cost, 1.8x, 11.4% of a $63,000,000 fund. The portfolio's analytics over realised and unrealised holdings: gross, realised and unrealised multiples, the unrealised share, concentration and the loss ratio. The quarter's valuation roll-forward from five figures. And the portfolio company review from nine. Each is a worksheet on this site with no account, and a venture fund runs the first one forty times a quarter, which is the whole argument for the record behind them.
The review sheet, one company per quarter
Year-on-year revenue growth, runway from cash and burn, headcount change, and the position's value and multiple at the fund's mark. The review sheet builds it from the company's own figures, and the paid plan keeps every quarter's sheet against the holding so the trend is a lookup.
The portfolio over the companies
Gross, realised and unrealised multiples over the whole book, the unrealised share of value, concentration in the largest position and the loss ratio, worked by the portfolio analytics worksheet from your own realised and unrealised figures. A venture portfolio's unrealised share reads high for years, and the worksheet shows it rather than hiding it.
Keep the record the tools read from, and nothing beside it
Holdings with cost, ownership, mark and KPIs by quarter, every review filed against its holding, exportable as a table, for $79 a month for the whole team. Not the cap table, which is the company's and another venture's subject; not the capital calls and the investor update, which are the relationship venture's at rapportvo.com; not the deal pipeline. A venture book where two holdings at 4x sit beside ten at 0.6x has the same gross multiple as a flat 1.5x and a different story, and the record is what lets the four tools tell it the same way every quarter.
VC portfolio management software: what portfolio teams ask
What does vc portfolio management software need that a buyout fund's does not?
Room for many small holdings whose KPIs matter more than their marks, filed by quarter, and a review sheet per company per quarter. LPreportly keeps the KPIs by quarter and builds the review from them.
Does LPreportly collect KPIs from the portfolio companies?
It keeps them against each holding by quarter once entered; it does not run a data-collection portal to the companies. The suites do that, and this is not a suite.
Is there free vc portfolio management software?
The worksheets on this site are free with no account: a position at the fund's mark, the portfolio's analytics, the valuation roll-forward and the company review. Keeping the holdings, the marks and the KPIs as a record is LPreportly Pro at $79 a month for the whole team.
Which vc portfolio management tools does a small fund actually need?
Four: a position at the mark, the portfolio's analytics, the valuation roll-forward and the company review, all free on this site, and the record they read from, which is LPreportly Pro at $79 a month for the whole team. The suites sell the KPI-collection portal and the LP portal on top; neither is one of the four.
