You’ve got a CRM. Congratulations.
So does everyone else who ever raised a fund, ran a deal, or pretended to be organized for exactly one quarter before everything collapsed back into spreadsheets and email threads.
But here’s the question nobody asks:
Is your CRM a system – or a cemetery for dead relationships you’ll never revive?
Most fund managers treat their CRM like a digital Rolodex. Names. Emails. Maybe a note from 2019 that says “Met at conference. Seemed interested.”
That’s not relationship intelligence. That’s archaeology.
And when you’re managing multiple entities, capital flows, LPs, co-investors, and portfolio companies across borders – archaeology doesn’t scale. It buries you.
I’ve seen it too many times.
A GP who can’t remember which LP needs quarterly impact reports vs. annual summaries. A co-investor relationship that went cold because nobody logged the last call. A prospective LP who slipped through because their “soft circle” status was never updated.
Not because anyone was lazy. Because the system wasn’t built for the weight it had to carry.
The real problem isn’t data entry. It’s architecture.
Most CRMs are flat. Fields stacked on fields. No hierarchy. No logic. No connection between who introduced whom, what deal they co-invested in, and whether that relationship is worth protecting.
When your CRM has no structure, your relationships have no memory.
And in this game, memory is margin.
I’ve spent years building systems for complexity – first for my own ventures, now for founders and fund managers who’ve outgrown basic tools.
What I’ve learned: the difference between operators who scale and those who stall isn’t effort. It’s infrastructure.
And your CRM is infrastructure. Or it’s supposed to be.
So I built something.
Not another course. Not a 47-step framework. A tactical guide for fund managers who want their CRM to actually work – across LPs, partners, portfolio companies, and the invisible threads that connect them all.
It’s called The LP Intelligence System.
Inside:
- The 4-tier CRM architecture that separates amateurs from operators
- 30 essential fields – and why most of them are being tracked wrong
- The “Referenceability” metric most funds ignore (and lose capital because of it)
- A one-page LP export template that doesn’t look like a pitch deck for a high school project
- An implementation roadmap that doesn’t require a consultant or six months of “alignment meetings”
It’s lean. It’s sharp. It’s built for people who run more than one thing and don’t have time to rebuild their systems from scratch every quarter.
If you want it, it’s yours.
Drop your email below, and I’ll send it over. No spam. No 47-email sequence. Just the guide – and the occasional FocusPath issue when I have something worth saying.
Because your relationships are either compounding or decaying.
Your CRM decides which.

Stay sharp.
