Product Hunt Description (~300 words)

Archstone is the all-in-one fund management platform built specifically for emerging venture capital managers. If you're running a fund under $100M and duct-taping together DocSend, Visible.vc, Streak, Google Sheets, and basic Carta, Archstone replaces all of it with a single, modern platform. Here's what you get out of the box: a secure data room with shareable links and viewer analytics, a branded LP portal with quarterly report generation, a deal pipeline with due diligence checklists and IC voting, portfolio tracking with founder metric collection, cap table management with waterfall analysis, compliance calendars with automated reminders, fundraising CRM with drip sequences, e-signatures, and co-invest coordination. What makes Archstone different is Archie, our AI orchestration layer. Archie isn't a chatbot bolted onto the sidebar. It's an agentic AI that reads and writes across every module. Tell it "Send a capital call to all committed LPs" and it calculates pro rata allocations, drafts notices, and queues them for your review. Ask "How's the portfolio doing?" and it pulls real-time metrics, flags anomalies, and generates a briefing. It handles quarterly reports, investment memos, deal scoring, and compliance audits through natural language. We built Archstone because the alternatives are either enterprise software priced for billion-dollar funds (Carta at $600+/mo for features you'll use twice a quarter) or fragmented point solutions that don't talk to each other. Our Starter plan is $297/mo and our Pro plan is $497/mo with unlimited everything, including full AI access. That's 3-5x less than the tool stack you're replacing. If you're an emerging GP, solo GP, or running a micro-VC fund, this was built for you.

Maker Comment (~200 words)

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Michael, and I built Archstone because I needed it myself. When I launched my first fund, I assumed there'd be a modern platform for emerging managers. Instead, I found a fragmented mess: DocSend for the deck, Visible.vc for LP updates, Streak for deal flow, Google Sheets for portfolio tracking, and Carta charging $600/mo for a tool I opened twice a quarter. I was spending $1,500+/mo in software costs before making my first investment. The worst part was quarterly reporting. Two full weeks pulling data from five systems, formatting in Google Docs, emailing PDFs one-by-one while Sequoia's LPs were logging into branded portals. So I built what I wished existed on day one. Archstone is a single platform with everything an emerging GP needs, plus an AI layer (Archie) that actually does the operational work. Not a chatbot. An agent that can execute capital calls, generate reports, score deals, and flag portfolio anomalies. We're priced at $297-497/mo because emerging managers shouldn't need enterprise budgets to run a professional operation. Would love your feedback and questions. Building in public and shipping fast.

Launching @archaborestone on @ProductHunt today. We built the fund management platform we wished existed when we launched our first VC fund. One platform. AI-powered. $297/mo. Here's why we built it and what it does:

The problem: Emerging VCs spend $1,500+/mo duct-taping together 6+ tools. DocSend for data rooms. Visible.vc for LP updates. Streak for deal flow. Sheets for portfolio tracking. Carta for cap table. None of them talk to each other.

The real differentiator is Archie, our AI orchestration layer. It's not a chatbot. It's an agent that reads and writes across every module. "Send a capital call to committed LPs" -> calculates pro rata, drafts notices, queues for review. 26 AI tools. Natural language fund operations.

First Comment (for PH page)

Thanks for checking out Archstone! A few things that might help as you explore: 1. The AI layer (Archie) is the feature I'm most excited about. It's not a wrapper around ChatGPT. It's a purpose-built agentic system with 26 structured tools that can read/write data across every module. Try asking it to generate a quarterly report or run a compliance audit. 2. We have a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You can import your existing data or use our demo fund to explore. 3. If you're coming from VentureKit (our fund launch kit), your questionnaire data auto-populates your Archstone fund profile, and you get 2 months free. Happy to answer any questions about the product, our roadmap, or how we built it. We're shipping new features every week and your feedback directly shapes what we build next.
