Crypto Fund Management in One Place: Dealflow, Raises, Distributions and Members

Running a crypto syndicate or fund involves managing multiple tasks, including sourcing deals, presenting them to your network, handling raises, distributions, and keeping members informed. Most managers use a patchwork of tools, such as chat groups, spreadsheets, forms, and wallets, which can be inefficient and prone to errors.

Challenges of Crypto Fund Management

The work of a crypto fund manager is not only hard but also fragmented, with each part of the job living in a different place. This can lead to mistakes, missed opportunities, and a lack of transparency for members.

Showing Dealflow to Your Network

A fund manager's success depends on their ability to source and present deals to their network. However, this process is often manual, with deals written up in documents, shared in chat groups, and tracked using spreadsheets. This can lead to delays, mistakes, and a lack of clarity for members.

Starting and Managing a Raise

Once a deal has garnered interest, the raise process begins, involving tasks such as:

• Collecting commitments and tracking who is in
• Managing allocations and limits
• Handling contributions across wallets
• Keeping a clean record of every position as the round fills

Manual management of these tasks can be time-consuming and error-prone, leading to costly mistakes and delays.

Handling Distributions

When a raise performs, and it's time to return value to members, the complexity of the process increases. This involves tasks such as tracking who is owed what, which wallet to send it to, and what has already been sent. Manual reconciliation of these tasks can be slow, stressful, and prone to errors.

The Hardest Part: Managing Your Members

Above all, a fund manager must maintain a good relationship with their members, which involves onboarding new members, keeping records current, answering questions, sending reports, and staying compliant. This work is ongoing and can be time-consuming, especially when everything else gets busy.
