Our take

Venture capital is essential for startups as they develop their products, and a huge amount of work goes into attracting investors. Less well-known is the vast amount of work involved in onboarding investor funds – days or weeks of manual paperwork before a deal can close.

Passthrough exists to remove this friction with an investor onboarding automation platform. Using workflows like familiar products such as TurboTax it can reduce the processing of subscription documents to 20 minutes for a new investor, or 2 for a returning one. With no real competition in this space other than the ubiquitous Excel spreadsheet, it has developed a customer base of over 500 funds including hustle fund, LKCM and G Squared.

The company’s help with onboarding investors has clearly been appreciated, as the company has had to onboard a significant amount of its own investors following a substantial 2023 raise. Funding will go towards scaling its operations, doubling its headcount, and building out its product’s integrations with other platforms. Going forward it seems likely that Passthrough will grow to be an essential part of every startup’s toolkit.
