OpenVC CRM is a web-based fundraising pipeline for early-stage startup founders managing investor interactions. Founders can add investors from OpenVC’s list or enter them manually, then move contacts from outreach through to close. Investor lists, introduction pathways, and pitch deck tracking are built into the workflow. The CRM can show when investors open shared decks and how long they view them. Teams can collaborate, and the free plan includes unlimited CRM use, team members, and deck analytics, with no additional cost for team seats. The plan is free, billed free forever. Founders can import up to 50 external investors at a time and export data as CSV or XLSX. Exports omit emails for investors contacted through the Submit deck action and omit investor LinkedIn profiles. Records cannot currently be deleted in bulk, and a record cannot be deleted if a credit has been used for it. OpenVC says data access is limited to its team for service operations and that it uses safeguards but cannot guarantee absolute security.
