Most first-time fund managers start with Google Sheets and Excel. It works until it does not — version control nightmares, no LP self-service, manual reporting, and zero audit trail. Archstone replaces your spreadsheet chaos with purpose-built fund management software.

Why Archstone
Manually updating spreadsheets, building LP reports in Google Docs, and emailing PDFs eats your most productive hours. Archstone automates portfolio updates, report generation, and LP communications so you can focus on deals.
Sending spreadsheet screenshots to LPs is unprofessional. Archstone gives each LP a branded self-service dashboard where they can view performance, download documents, and access capital call history — 24/7.
Spreadsheets have no audit trail. Archstone logs every change with timestamps and user attribution. When your fund admin or auditor asks for records, you are ready in seconds.
Archie can draft your quarterly LP letter, analyze a pitch deck, flag portfolio anomalies, and answer questions about your fund — all in natural language. Try that with VLOOKUP.
Spreadsheets
Free (Google Sheets) or ~$12/mo (Excel) — but the hidden cost is 10+ hours/week of manual fund ops vs ~1 hour/week with Archstone
Archstone
$297/mo Starter or $497/mo Pro — reduces weekly fund admin from 10+ hours to ~1 hour
