For Emerging GPs

You raised the fund. Now you need to run it.

You spent months — maybe years — getting to a first close. The hard part was supposed to be over. Then you realized: the operational work is just beginning, and nobody prepared you for it.

A day in the life of an emerging GP.

Sound familiar?

Your morning starts with email. An LP from your first close is asking when they'll get their Q4 report. Another LP's attorney wants a clean copy of the LPA — the one you sent three months ago via Dropbox, and the link has expired. You forward it again.

By 10am you're on a call with a promising Series Seed founder. Good conversation. You hang up and realize you need to log the deal somewhere. You open the spreadsheet you've been using as a CRM, but it's three weeks out of date. You make a note to update it later. You won't.

After lunch, you check in on your portfolio. One of your companies missed their monthly update. You draft a friendly reminder email, then remember you should probably be tracking runway for your other five companies too. You open another spreadsheet. The formulas are broken from last quarter.

It's 4pm. You wanted to spend the afternoon prepping for an IC discussion, but instead you've been wrestling with a compliance deadline your fund admin mentioned last week. Something about a blue sky filing. You Google it. You're not even sure if it applies to you.

By evening, you're sitting down to work on the quarterly report your LPs are expecting. You need portfolio metrics, fund-level performance, a narrative update, and it all needs to look professional. You open a Word doc and start from scratch. Again.

This is what 40% of your time looks like. The other 60% — the sourcing, the diligence, the relationship-building that actually generates returns — gets whatever's left.

Where your time actually goes.

Common questions from emerging GPs.

Is Archstone right for my $5M fund?

Absolutely. Archstone was designed specifically for the $3M-$50M range. You get the same modules a $500M fund uses, at a price that makes sense for your management fee budget. Most of our users are Fund I and Fund II managers.

Can I switch from Carta mid-fund?

Yes. We help you export your cap table and LP data from Carta and import it into Archstone. Most GPs complete the migration in a single afternoon. Your LPs won't skip a beat.

How fast can I set up?

Most emerging GPs are fully operational within 2-3 hours. Upload your docs, invite your LPs, and configure your pipeline. If you purchased VentureKit, your fund profile auto-populates from your questionnaire data.

What if I grow beyond $50M?

Archstone scales with you. The Pro tier at $497/mo handles unlimited LPs, unlimited portfolio companies, and full Archie AI. We've designed the platform so you never need to switch.

Do my LPs need to create accounts?

LPs receive a branded login to your portal. It takes 30 seconds to set up. They can view documents, track their commitment, and access quarterly reports — all without bugging you for email attachments.
