What it is SponsorStack is deal management software built specifically for independent sponsors. Not adapted from private equity software, not a repurposed CRM...built from scratch around how IS deals actually work: sourcing through brokers, tracking NDAs with expiry windows, running your own capital raise, and modeling IS-specific economics (closing fee, GP commit, LP preferred return, promote/carry). The problem it solves Most independent sponsors manage their deals across a mix of spreadsheets, Notion docs, a generic CRM, and their email inbox. That works until you have 10+ active deals, three brokers sending you teasers weekly, and a capital raise happening in parallel on two different deals. Things fall through the cracks. A follow-up goes stale, an NDA expires unnoticed, a capital partner commitment doesn't get tracked. SponsorStack gives you one place for all of it. Key features - Deal Funnel — Kanban-style pipeline showing every deal by stage, with days-in-stage tracking so nothing goes stale. Deals move from Interested → NDA Signed → CIM Review → Conversations → LOI → Due Diligence → Financing → Close. - Deal Detail — Each deal has its own workspace: financial snapshot, interaction log, notes, broker info, tags, and a full tab set for Financing, Economics, and Outreach. - AI CIM Analysis — Upload a CIM and get an instant structured analysis: deal snapshot, strengths, risks, thesis fit score, and a deal grade (A/B/C). Powered by GPT-4o. - Capital Stack + Equity Raise Tracker — Model your debt/equity structure and track LP commitments deal-by-deal. See who's interested, soft-circled, committed, and funded, with a progress bar against your equity target. - IS Economics Calculator — Enter your EV, equity check, closing fee %, GP commit %, LP preferred return, hold period, and promote, and get a full exit waterfall showing your MOIC on equity at 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x exit scenarios. - NDA Tracker — Log every NDA with counterparty, type, signed date, and expiry. Get alerts before they expire. - Broker & Network CRM — Track your deal flow relationships: brokers, capital partners, lenders, operating partners. Log calls, emails, and meetings. See every deal sourced from each relationship. - Drip Campaigns — Build automated email sequences to stay warm with your broker and capital partner network without manual follow-up. Who it's for Independent sponsors who are actively working deals. If you're tracking 5–20 deals at a time, running your own capital raise, and sourcing primarily through broker relationships, SponsorStack was built for your workflow.
