Streamlining Requests: 3 Founder Friendly Improvements

Matt Preuss
Marketing Manager

We pride ourselves on building the most founder-friendly and frictionless tools on the market. We’re excited to announce three new ways we are changing the game for how founders can share data and report back to their investors.

Let’s take a step back for a moment. Founders are tasked with many roles. In addition to building a product, hiring top talent, and growing their business, founders must manage relationships with current and potential investors.

As an investor, collecting the data most useful to your firm can feel like a balancing act, as you need enough data for your LPs and your portfolio insights. However, great investors want to respect the founder's bandwidth and being overly burdensome.

Our recent set of Visible Request improvements has bridged the reporting gap and made sharing data with investors easier for founders. Check out three recent improvements to help make things easier for your founders below:

Pre-Fill Data Points With Known Data

Firms using Visible are getting portfolio company data into Visible in multiple ways, with requests, uploading historical data, and using the Visible AI Inbox. This means they already have data points in Visible for some portfolio companies when sending a Visible Request.

With pre-filling data points, you now have the option to allow founders to use existing data points when filling out a request. Founders will have a chance to review exisitng data and fill in any gaps.

View Historical Request Responses

When completing a Visible Request, it can be helpful for founders to have context of their previous responses.

For founders completing Visible Requests, they can now compare the current requests with their historical responses to help ensure they’re sharing the same information from request to request.

Autosaving Requests

Lastly, we now securely autosave partial completions when completing Visible Requests. Founders can also sign up for their free Visible account to save progress (cross-browser) and collaborate with their executives.

Leverage Founders First Tools for Your Firm
