Developing an efficient VC portfolio management platform.
Icalia Labs undertook the development of a cutting-edge portfolio management platform that addressed a critical pain point: keeping investment portfolios up to date.
The Challenge
How to help UVCs and CVCs manage their investment portfolios just like the best Venture Capital firms out there?
Scenario
Having invested in consulting services for other VCs, they recognized a significant pain point among UVCs – the struggle to maintain up-to-date portfolio data, potentially leading to suboptimal decision-making. Existing solutions in the market fell short of meeting the unique needs of these single-source-of-capital institutions, prompting Icalia Labs to craft a tailor-made solution.
Opportunity
Create a digital solution that empowers both UVCs and CVCs to efficiently manage their portfolios, centralizing data, ensuring real-time updates, and facilitating recurring interactions through an intuitive software interface.
After our Design Sprint we recognized the urgency, we prioritized the development of a super-seamless data capture and maintainability system. This foundation allowed us to swiftly expand into data exploration and exploitation, ensuring a comprehensive solution for our client.

Solutions
Perfecting a guided “Wizard”
The development of a guided "Wizard" emerged as a pivotal aspect of our strategy. Tailored for non-financially-savvy users, this user-friendly wizard, coupled with a robust profile for portfolio companies, streamlines data entry with guidance. Users can save data, receive intuitive prompts, and return at their convenience to fill in the gaps, all facilitated through an intuitive UI. Every user interaction is meticulously analyzed to gauge success and gather insights for future enhancements.
Dashboards became the heartbeat of the platform
Transforming data into actionable insights. With more data being captured for the portfolio, decision-makers, analysts, managers, and portfolio company leaders update the system in real-time. The dashboards, in turn, reflect the most up-to-date version of all indicators and stats almost instantly.
