We built a free VC platform that shares data between GPS and founders

Hey HN,

We built Vistaley — a two-sided platform for VC fund management. The GP-facing side (VentureLens) handles fund operations: deal pipeline, portfolio tracking, fund accounting, LP reporting. The founder-facing side (Harbour) provides free FP&A tools: financial dashboards, KPI tracking, burn rate analysis.

When a portfolio company enters their financials in Harbour, the data is immediately available in the GP's VentureLens dashboard — no CSV exports, no quarterly spreadsheets, no API integrations.

Interesting challenges we solved:

- Multi-currency — 60+ currencies with local display toggle. Every financial metric can be viewed in fund currency or portfolio company's local currency. Exchange rates stored per-snapshot, not globally, to preserve historical accuracy.

- Multi-jurisdiction accounting — 12 jurisdictions (including Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Bangladesh) with different tax frameworks, compliance requirements, and regulatory reporting standards. One accounting standard per fund, enforced at the database level.

- The reporting incentive problem — VCs hate that founders don't report. Founders hate reporting. Our solution: give founders tools good enough that entering data is the reporting. The FP&A dashboard IS the GP's portfolio view. Aligned incentives through shared utility.

Why emerging markets? Most fund management tools price out or ignore funds in Central/South Asia and Africa. We're targeting the $5M-$500M fund range in high-growth regions with pricing starting at free, up to $399/mo. For context, enterprise tools in this space charge $50K+/year.
