SAAS for Equity & Venture Capital Firms

The Challenge

The venture capital landscape has grown increasingly competitive and complex, creating multifaceted challenges for our client. Managing investor relationships had become increasingly difficult with growing LP numbers and diverse reporting requirements. The firm struggled with disparate systems for capital call processing, distribution calculations, and performance reporting, leading to data inconsistencies and potential errors. Fund administrators spent excessive time manually preparing quarterly reports and responding to ad-hoc investor inquiries, diverting attention from value-added activities.

The firm lacked centralized data management for waterfall calculations, hurdle rates, and carried interest distributions, making accurate and timely GP compensation nearly impossible to calculate efficiently. Compliance requirements and investor transparency demands had intensified, creating additional administrative burdens without corresponding increases in back-office headcount. The firm's leadership recognized the need for a comprehensive solution that could not only address these immediate pain points but also scale with their future growth plans.

The Solution

HurdleHub was implemented as a comprehensive SaaS solution to transform the client's GP-LP management processes. The platform was built with modern technologies—Laravel for robust backend functionality, Vue.js for a responsive frontend experience, and MySQL for secure and scalable data management. A distinctive feature of the implementation was the creation of a custom UX/UI designed specifically for venture capital workflows.

The solution includes a centralized investor portal where LPs can access their investment statements, capital call notices, distribution information, and fund performance metrics. Advanced tools for managing complex fund structures, including multi-tiered waterfall calculations, carried interest modeling, and management fee calculations automate the generation of financial statements and performance reports. A streamlined system for processing capital calls and distributions with automated notification, tracking, and reconciliation features rounds out the core functionality.

Development & Implementation

• - Comprehensive discovery and requirements analysis to assess existing processes
• - Data migration from legacy systems while maintaining data integrity
• - Custom configuration to match specific fund structures and LP agreements
• - Phased rollout starting with core fund accounting and investor relations
• - Extensive user training and change management to ensure adoption

The Results

"HurdleHub has transformed our back-office operations from a constant pain point to a strategic advantage. The custom UI/UX perfectly aligns with how our team thinks about fund management, and the automation capabilities have eliminated countless hours of manual work. Most importantly, our limited partners have noticed the difference in the quality and timeliness of our reporting. The platform has scaled seamlessly as we've launched new funds, and the insights we gain from the analytics dashboard have become an essential part of our strategic planning process." — Managing Partner, San Francisco-based Venture Capital Firm
