An emerging-manager venture fund raising a $50-75M vehicle was running its fundraise off Google Sheets and CSVs, with no system of record. 80x built its CRM from zero under a fixed scope: a conservative three-to-five-object model (LP fundraising pipeline, deal flow, portfolio, co-investors), followed by data triage and enrichment, bulk deal-record creation from existing email contacts, and team onboarding including an incoming IR hire. The workspace is live with 41 records and ~29 high-potential prospects triaged from ~80 raw materials, against a scaling target of 400-1,000, giving the fund a single, structured pipeline to run the raise from.
