Ask HN: What's missing in today's fundraising tools for founders?
Most founders I talk to still manage their entire fundraising process with a mix of Sheets, Gmail, and Notion. Even with so many “AI” tools out there, the experience still feels broken - messy follow-ups, outdated investor data, and no clear pipeline view.
Curious what others think:
1. What do you wish fundraising tools did better?
2. What part of investor outreach or tracking do you still handle manually?
3. Have you found any tools that actually make the process smoother?
Would love to hear what’s working (or what you’d build differently)- especially for early-stage founders raising their first or second round.
