Introducing Updated Investment Tracking

Nick Wilde

Managing your fund data isn't just about when you initially invested; it's about understanding the whole story over the investment's lifetime.

We’ve reworked the investments feature in your portfolio view to provide enhanced flexibility and a more streamlined view.

See the Full Story Behind Every Investment

To date, you've been able to track investments in Visible. Now, you can more easily associate investment transactions with rounds and track associated cash flows.

The updated investments experience makes room for these scenarios and gives you the flexibility to track them cleanly and accurately.

Increased Flexibility and Organized Tabs

We’ve introduced a new tabbed layout within each company profile so you can easily toggle between different categories of investment data:

Introducing Transactions Tab

Log any inflow or outflow related to a company (investments, exits, distributions, interest payments, dividends, and more). Each cashflow includes fields for the name, amount, date, type, description, and associated round (if applicable). A summary at the top makes it easy to see inflows and outflows.

  • You might receive interest payments as a company pays down debt
  • Distributions could be tied to performance thresholds or revenue share agreements

Rounds Tab

The rounds tab expands on what previously existed in Visible. Now, you can create a round and associate multiple transactions with the round in the event you invested out of multiple funds or acquired different share classes.

FMV Tab

The FMV tab consolidates how the value of your positions have changed over time, making it easy to understand the story of your investment performance.

Improved Investment Tracking Workflows

The new transaction tab will not only support additional new transaction types but also help improve workflows for tracking investment data.

When you log a new investment or exit, we’ll automatically create a corresponding cashflow entry to save you time, and you can always edit or override the details as needed. If a cash flow is tied to a round, we’ll pre-fill certain fields to make data entry easier, while still giving you control over things like the date (especially useful when the transaction date differs from the round close date).

You can also create custom transactions that aren’t tied to a specific round. Whether you’re receiving a one-off dividend or logging a revenue-based return, the process is quick and flexible.

A Clearer Picture of Performance

With more complete transaction tracking, you can:

  • Calculate IRR with greater accuracy
  • Understand the full financial journey of each investment
  • Organize capital movement in a way that’s easy to reference, analyze, and share

No more stitching together spreadsheets or guessing at timing. Everything you need is now in one place.

Exploring Founder <> Investor Relationships with the Thrive Through Connection Podcast
Beyond pitch decks, valuations, term sheets, and growth rates, fundraising is about relationships. Behind every round of capital is a series of conversations, introductions, and partnerships that result from human-to-human connection. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our new podcast season, Thrive Through Connection, a series dedicated to exploring the human side of fundraising. Why Thrive Through Connection We’ve seen firsthand that at the center of successful startups, good old-fashioned relationship building consistently shows up, because founders don’t raise capital in a vacuum. They rely on their teams, peers, and investors to navigate the ups and downs of building something from nothing. Thrive Through Connection highlights the relationships that fuel the growth of both founders and investors. We candidly discuss what it really takes to raise venture capital, including the setbacks, tactics, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else. What to Expect Each episode features real stories and actionable insights from founders and investors, from first-time founders reflecting on closing their first round to seasoned investors sharing what they look for in a deal. Every conversation is packed with lessons you can apply to your fundraising journey. The First Episodes We’ve got three episodes to get things started, and we’re excited to continue recording and publishing new episodes throughout the year. Check out the first three below: Finding the Right Investors with Laurel Hess On the first episode of the Thrive Through Connection Podcast, we welcome Laurel Hess, the CEO and Founder of hampr. Laurel has raised over $10M for hampr across multiple rounds. She joins us to share her journey and the importance of building genuine relationships with investors. Navigating Investor Relationships with Brett Brohl On the second episode of the Thrive Through Connection Podcast, we welcome Brett Brohl, Managing Partner at Bread & Butter Ventures. Brett joins us to dive deep into all things founder fundraising, sharing tactical advice on everything from cold outreach to evaluating if an investor is a true culture fit. Going From Operator to Funder with Leo Polovets On the third episode of the Thrive Through Connection Podcast, we welcome Leo Polovets, the General Partner at Humba Ventures and Co-founder of Susa Ventures. Leo joins us to talk about his journey from operator to supporting over 100 companies as an investor at both Humba and Susa.
