With options ranging from all-in-one operating systems to specialized templates and subscription plans, it can be challenging to decide where to start.

I wrote this guide will help you navigate the different categories of products offered by NotionVC, ensuring you choose the best solution for your needs.

1. Operating Systems: All-in-One Solutions

Operating systems in NotionVC are designed as comprehensive, all-in-one templates that cover multiple aspects of venture capital or LP management. These are ideal if you’re looking for a robust, integrated solution that can manage various facets of your operations seamlessly.

FundMate: Tailored specifically for venture capitalists (VCs), this template serves as a complete dealflow management system. It’s perfect for micro VCs, solo general partners (GPs), and angel investors who need a centralized platform to track potential investments, manage relationships, and streamline decision-making processes.

LP Capital Navigator: This template is designed specifically for Limited Partners (LPs) themselves. It provides LPs with tools to manage their capital commitments, track their investments, and oversee fund performance across various VC firms. If you’re an LP looking to streamline your investment tracking and ensure comprehensive oversight of your capital, this template offers everything you need in one place.

These operating systems are ideal for those who prefer a holistic approach, where multiple functions are integrated into a single platform, minimizing the need for multiple tools.

2. Standalone Templates for Specific Use-Cases

If you’re looking for a more targeted solution for one of your workflows, NotionVC offers standalone templates that address specific areas of venture capital management. These templates are perfect for VCs who already have a system in place but need specialized tools for particular tasks.

RaiseMate: Focused on LP fundraising, RaiseMate is the go-to template for managing the complexities of raising new funds. It helps you keep track of potential LPs, manage communications, and track fundraising progress with ease.

It helps you create detailed, professional exhibits of your portfolio companies, highlighting key metrics, achievements, and growth potential. This is an essential tool for VCs looking to present their portfolio in the best possible light.

These standalone templates are perfect for users who need specific functionalities without the complexity of an all-in-one system.
