OpenVC CRM vs Tenacap

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.

Tenacap is a web-based cap table platform for managing company equity from incorporation through priced rounds. It supports SAFEs, convertible notes, option plans, grants, vesting, exercises, and restricted stock. Companies can model priced rounds, convert outstanding SAFEs and notes, and calculate exit waterfalls. Imports can come from Carta, Pulley, Tenacap’s workbook, or a spreadsheet; exports include CSV, open-schema JSON, and a complete archive. The platform generates equity and board documents, supports native e-signature, and provides a sealed PDF with a completion certificate. Cap table changes go into an append-only ledger with cryptographic chaining, which Tenacap describes as tamper-evident. The free Starter tier includes unlimited stakeholders, one saved scenario, and CSV and JSON export. Traction is listed at $39/mo or $399/yr, while Growth is $99/mo or $999/yr. Tenacap says beta is open and customers are not billed during beta; listed tier prices take effect at general availability. Its V1 focuses on US Delaware C-corps, and international entities are not on its V1 or V2 roadmap.
