Use Cases

Each function feeds the next.

Outer Insights is not one tool used in many ways. It is a connected platform where each function feeds the next, so the work you do in one place shows up as context in another. Here is what teams use it for.

01 · Cap Table Management

Your cap table, kept in step with the raise.

Ownership sits next to the relationships that created it. Shareholders, subscription agreements, and digital signing are handled in one place, and each signature updates the table itself. Investors see only what you grant them, and no one has to ask which version is current.

02 · Lead Investor Generation

Find the investors most likely to say yes.

Start from mandate, stage, sector, and how closely a target already sits to your network. Every result carries a sourced intelligence report and a fit score, and the ones worth pursuing move straight into a sequence without being retyped anywhere.

03 · Investor Relations & Reporting

Keep every stakeholder informed, without the scramble.

Updates are built from live figures rather than assembled by hand, sent to the list you choose, and measured afterwards. Who opened, who read it through, and who never did all land back on the relationship record.

04 · Relationship & Deal Management

Every touchpoint on a single record.

Emails, meetings, documents, notes, and follow-ups sit on one timeline instead of five tools. Tracking runs on top of it, so a relationship that has gone quiet surfaces on its own rather than waiting to be noticed.

05 · Fundraising Data Rooms

Share what matters. Hold back what does not.

A secure room with permissions set per investor and per document, and engagement recorded as they read. You can see which documents each investor has opened and which version they are working from, which is usually the question that matters.
