I ran into investor Jason Calacanis from the All-In Pod a few weeks ago at a video game arcade here...
Automation Without Austerity
How to reclaim 500–600 analyst hours per fundraise. And how to put your team where it actually matters.
There’s a myth that automation means downsizing.
We think that's totally b******t.
The best funds don’t win because they cut. They win because their teams compound. Super fast.
That’s why we built this:
🧠 The Analyst Automation Cheat Sheet:
It's a complete, beginner-friendly playbook that shows any GP or associate how to replace the busywork of LP research and CRM enrichment with AI tools that run overnight for a few dollars.
And for the first time, we’re releasing it without a gate, paywall or anything like that.
The real cost of inefficiency
Every fundraise burns hundreds of hours on mechanical work. Boring stuff like data entry, enrichment, web searches, deck prep.
You pay for that twice: once in salary, and a second time in distraction.
When your analysts spend nights updating CRM fields or cleaning spreadsheets, they’re not building LP relationships, modeling scenarios, or pressure-testing your fund’s story. They’re buried in admin gravity.
That is not what you hired them to do.
This cheat sheet blows a big old hole in that gravity well.
It lets your team focus on actual leverage: understanding who to call, when, and with what message.
LP Blueprint is a force multiplier. If you don’t want a force multiplier, that’s fine. Close the tab and go back to scattershot fundraising. We’re here for systemic fundraising that works.
What it actually does
This isn’t a “replace your team” script. We are hooked on force multipliers.
Using the workflow in the guide, one associate can now:
-
Pull hundreds of relevant LPs or family offices in hours instead of weeks.
-
Enrich CRM data for pennies per record.
-
Auto-generate investor bios, talking points, and prep notes for partner meetings.
That means your team doesn’t shrink. The team levels up. Each person goes from repetitive labor to analytical firepower.
We’ve watched firms redirect those saved hours into higher-order work:
-
Redesigning their DRs (data rooms).
-
Rewriting LP update letters with super-freakin' sharp narratives.
-
Deep diligence on new AI-enabled verticals.
Automation isn’t the threat. Wasted intelligence is.
Our M.O.
We came up through the punk scene: building communities, not hierarchies.
Back then, if you wanted a show, you booked the hall, ran the flyers, and made it happen. No gatekeepers, no velvet rope, no permission needed.
That same spirit drives LP Blueprint.
We don’t believe in toll booths around efficiency.
Venture is a team sport, and the teams that win move faster, share knowledge, and amplify each other’s capacity.
Old-school finance taught people to hoard tools and call it "strategy". That was a 20th-century reflex.
It is also complete b******t.
We’re building an ecosystem where every GP, associate, and analyst can operate at machine speed without losing their humanity. Because real leverage isn’t secrecy or headcount. It’s people working together with better tools and zero pretense.
The bigger picture
Every analyst you free from the copy-pasta drudgery of late-stage capitalism can now devote 500–600 hours to what actually matters: the fundraise itself: the conversations, the storytelling, the modeling, the substance.
You don’t automate people; you equip them.
You give them the kind of edge that used to require a headcount you can’t even justify in this market.
Run the playbook.
Put your team back where their judgment counts.
Because the future of venture isn’t leaner. It’s having a team that's way smarter.
