The toolbox for building a firm
Venture Capital exists to answer one question: if you want to build and run a venture capital firm, what do you actually need? We map every function of the firm, surface the best software for each, show the stacks real funds run, and gather the resources to operate like the top firms.
Organized by function
16 categories covering the full VC operating stack — from deal sourcing to fund administration.
Editorially independent
124+ tools with our own ratings and honest pros and cons. We call it as we see it — not as vendors would like.
Built for operators
11 firm stacks, the full LP and capital map, plus guides and templates to help you actually build and run the firm.
How to use the site
Start with the toolbox to browse by what the job is — deal flow, CRM, diligence, fund admin, LP reporting and more. Compare tools within a category, then dig into any tool for pricing, features and honest trade-offs. Curious what other funds run? The stacks section reconstructs the tooling behind firms of every size. The funding map lays out every source of capital — from the LPs who fund the funds to venture debt — and who provides it. And the resources library goes deeper on the how.
