Replace Spreadsheets with Archstone

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

Key differentiators vs Spreadsheets

10-15 hours/week back in your calendar

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.

Your LPs get a real portal

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.

Audit-ready from day one

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.

AI that understands your fund

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.

Pricing comparison

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
