Built an Operating System specifically for Independent Sponsors — looking for 3-4 ISs to test it free

Hello ETA Community! I've been building a platform purpose-built for the independent sponsor model and I'm looking for a handful of ISs to get free lifetime access in exchange for monthly feedback calls as I start taking the product live. Quick background: most Independent Sponsors I've talked to are duct-taping together HubSpot, Excel, email, and other generic tools to make up their "Operating System". The problem is none of those tools understand the IS workflow; the deal-by-deal structure, the capital raise, the broker relationships, the exclusivity window. So I built something that does. An operating system built specifically for Independent Sponsors, "SponsorStack". What's in it: - Deal pipeline with IS-specific stages (customizable) - CIM analysis (upload a CIM, AI extracts the key metrics in minutes) - NDA tracking with expiration alerts and AI review - Capital stack builder - Equity Raise and commitment tracker - Capital Partner outreach with teaser tracking links - Exclusivity window countdown with milestone tracker - Broker and capital partner CRM with drip campaigns and email open tracking - Financial normalizer (upload broker financials, AI restructures them into your template) - and much more Looking for ISs who are actively working deals. Not looking for feedback from people studying the model, but from people living it. If that's you, DM me or drop a comment. Free lifetime access, no strings attached beyond a monthly 30-minute call.
