OpenVC CRM
What it is
OpenVC CRM is a web-based fundraising pipeline for startup founders managing investor relationships. Founders can add contacts from OpenVC’s investor list or enter them manually, then move investors through stages from outreach to close. Investor lists, introduction pathways, and pitch deck tracking are part of the workflow. The CRM can report when an investor opens a shared deck and how long they view it. Teams can collaborate, and the free plan is listed as free, billed free forever, with unlimited CRM use, team members, and deck analytics. External imports are limited to 50 investors at a time. CRM data can be exported as CSV or XLSX, but exports omit emails for investors contacted through the Submit deck action and omit investor LinkedIn profiles. Records cannot be deleted in bulk, and individual records cannot be deleted if a credit has been used for them. OpenVC says data access is limited to its team for service operations and that it uses safeguards but cannot guarantee absolute security.
