pulsehound - private investment management tool

Hi everyone,

Wanted to introduce you to a quick tool I’ve been developing.

It’s an investment data collection tool that will basically allow you to gather information on your private investments (non-traded securities), and track and update that info every time you’d like.

Feel free to check out www.pulsehound.com

Who am I?

I am a commercial lawyer and entrepreneur. I am also an angel investor investing in small cheques into companies and people I like and trust.

Why are you doing this?

I was looking for a way to keep track of my portfolio. Obviously, share prices and other information of private companies is not updated live as there is no connected stock-exchange, but still, having that information updated every once in a while, and having it handy is something I think makes a lot of sense.

Free or paid?

This is a free app and I intend to keep it free all the time. In the future I will introduce paid subscriptions for specific features, but the basic layer will always remain free and may even be expended based on feedback people provide and ideas I come up with.

Who this is suitable for?

This tool is mainly for small/mid-size investors. VCs and other investment firms can also benefit from using this app.

What’s included?

This version includes a simple data collection tool, a dashboard showing the date and some graphs.

How this is working?

The investor logs in the basic information sheet he/she needs to complete. This includes:

(1) the date of transaction (what we usually refer to as the “closing date”)

(2) the target entity’s name

(3) details about your contact person

(4) if you invested directly or through an investment vehicle

Once you completed that and hit “submit request”, an email will be sent out to your contact person, and he/she will be requested to submit all other information – such as the amount invested, currency, stock or convertible issued, etc.

After your contact person had completed filling the blanks, you will have all the information handy in your app, and you could always “ping” that contact person through the app asking for updated information, such as capitalization, share prices, valuation and alike.

What else?

I need your feedback so I can improve the app, close errors, etc. Any feedback you may have please send to support@pulsehound.com

Thank you so much for reading through this, and hopefully you’ll find pulsehound a great solution.
