Overview

Insightly is a general-purpose CRM (now part of the Unbounce family) combining pipeline management, project delivery, marketing automation and app connectivity at small-business prices. It has no venture-specific data model, but small funds and syndicates use it as a cheap, flexible system of record — custom objects can approximate deals, LPs and portfolio contacts. A pragmatic choice when budget matters more than VC-native workflows.

Key features

  • Pipeline and opportunity management
  • Custom objects and page layouts
  • Built-in project management post-close
  • Marketing automation (separate module)
  • AppConnect integration builder

Pros

  • Strong value at the low end of the CRM market
  • Custom objects flex to fund workflows with effort
  • Project tracking after a closed deal is a nice touch

Cons

  • No venture data model — relationships and rounds are DIY
  • No email/network auto-capture like relationship-intelligence CRMs
  • Advanced features gate behind higher tiers
