venture capital software for the part that matters most: sourcing

venture capital software is the stack a fund runs to find, track, and diligence deals. most funds over-invest in the tracking layer and under-invest in the one that actually drives returns - sourcing. frontrun is built for that layer.

what is venture capital software?

venture capital software is any tool a fund uses to operate: sourcing tools that find companies, crms that manage the pipeline and relationships, and research databases used to diligence a deal. the categories are often confused. a crm like affinity organizes deals you already found; a database like pitchbook diligences one that's already announced. frontrun is a sourcing tool - it generates net-new, pre-round companies from investor behavior and feeds the top of your funnel.

the three jobs software does for a fund

source, manage, research. every vc tool falls into one. the mistake is buying a $20k crm and calling your sourcing solved - a crm can't generate a company it's never heard of. sourcing is the input; everything downstream is only as good as it. frontrun is the input, priced like software should be.

why frontrun sits at the top of the stack

frontrun tracks the follow graphs of 1,000+ venture investors on x and flags a company when several converge on it - often months before a round. it exposes that signal through daily reports, a live feed, a rest api, and an mcp server, so it plugs into whatever crm and research tools you already run.

job	what it does	example
Sourcing	generates net-new, ideally pre-round companies	frontrun ($99/mo)
Management	tracks pipeline & relationships	affinity, spreadsheets
Research	diligences an announced company	pitchbook, crunchbase, harmonic

which is right for you

you already have a crm

you don't need another one - you need a source that fills it. frontrun feeds pre-round companies into your existing pipeline.

you're standing up a fund's stack

start with sourcing. a great pipeline of nothing is still nothing. add crm and research once deals are flowing.

your team runs agents

pick tools with real agent access. frontrun ships an mcp server and rest api so an agent can source and enrich end to end.

frequently asked

what software do venture capital firms use?

most funds run three layers: a sourcing tool (like frontrun) to find companies, a crm (like affinity) to manage the pipeline, and a research database (like pitchbook or crunchbase) to diligence. they solve different jobs and are usually run together.

what is the best venture capital software for sourcing?

for pre-round sourcing, frontrun - it flags companies from investor follow-graph convergence months before a round, at $99/mo with api + mcp. pair it with a coverage database for diligence.

how much does venture capital software cost?

crms and databases are typically enterprise-priced ($20k-$40k/yr). frontrun's sourcing layer is $99/mo with a 7-day trial, so a solo gp can run it too.
