Visible

Overview

Visible is a private-markets platform for founders handling fundraising and investor communications, as well as investors monitoring portfolio companies. Its appeal is the breadth of those workflows in one place; founders who only need a basic investor contact list may not need the full platform.

Founded in 2014, Visible brings fundraising, reporting and stakeholder work together. Extracted portfolio values link back to the source document, page and line, which gives investors a useful trail for checking reported figures.

Key features

Fundraising and investor communications

Founders can manage investor updates, pitch decks, fundraising pipelines, data rooms, KPI dashboards and investor records. Email sync and deal-pipeline support add practical tools for keeping outreach and fundraising activity organized. The trade-off is that several Starter limits are tight: two decks, two pipelines, one data room and 25 files make it better for an early-stage workflow than a large or document-heavy raise.

Portfolio monitoring and data connections

Investor tools include portfolio monitoring, metric alerts, review dashboards, tear sheets and LP reports. Connections include Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Google Analytics, HubSpot, Stripe, Xero, Salesforce, Mercury, Mixpanel, ProfitWell, ChartMogul, Slack, Zapier, Visible API, Affinity and Investor API. The API and MCP server can connect portfolio data to other tools, with the API allowing up to 500 requests per five-minute window.

Visible says it undergoes annual SOC 2 Type II audits, encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256, and provides its latest audit report on request. AI features are opt-in, and Visible says neither it nor its AI providers use customer data to train models.

Pricing

Visible uses a freemium model. Starter is free forever and includes 100 investor recipients, two pitch decks, two pipelines, one data room with a 25-file limit, and two users. That makes it a sensible starting point for a small founder team, but the recipient and content caps may become blockers as a raise grows.

Base costs $59 per month billed annually, or $69 billed monthly. It raises the recipient cap to 250 and includes unlimited decks and pipelines, one data room, one integration and three users. It suits a small team that needs more fundraising capacity, though the single integration and data room remain constraints.

Core costs $129 per month billed annually, or $149 billed monthly. It includes 500 investor recipients, three data rooms, three integrations and unlimited users. This is the more practical tier for teams with multiple users and broader reporting needs, but its integration allowance still requires prioritization.

Growth costs $199 per month billed annually, or $249 billed monthly. It raises the recipient cap to 1,000, includes five data rooms and five integrations, and adds a dedicated customer support manager. Unlimited users and named support make it the clearest fit for larger workflows, though the higher monthly price only makes sense if those added capacities matter.

Platforms

Visible is available on the web and through an API. Its API and MCP server support connecting portfolio data with other tools; the stated API limit is 500 requests per five-minute window.

Who it's for

Visible is best suited to founders who need investor updates, fundraising organization and reporting alongside investors who monitor portfolio companies and prepare LP materials. The source-linked values and range of integrations are particularly useful when portfolio figures need review and data moves between systems. A solo founder with few investors may find Starter adequate, while growing teams should compare recipient, user, data-room and integration caps before committing.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Founder fundraising and investor portfolio workflows sit in the same platform, reducing the need to manage those jobs in separate tools.
• Pros: Extracted portfolio values link to their source document, page and line, supporting verification during review.
• Pros: Integrations, an API and MCP server give teams several ways to connect portfolio data to other systems.
• Cons: Starter limits users to two seats, two decks, two pipelines and one data room with 25 files, which can constrain a growing raise.
• Cons: Paid plans cap recipients, data rooms and integrations, so teams with larger investor lists or more connected systems may need a higher tier.

Verdict

Choose Visible if you need founder fundraising and investor portfolio reporting to work together, especially when integrations and traceable portfolio figures matter. Its free Starter tier offers a useful entry point, but the caps are real; teams with larger investor lists or more complex data-room and integration needs should budget for a paid plan or look for a tool focused more narrowly on their workflow.
