Visible was started in the winter of 2012 with a very clear mandate – to simplify the sharing, management, and reporting of data between startups and investors. They launched with a group of founders and investors that had been struggling with the vexing, but all too common, problems of tracking investment performance and managing communications between startups and investors.Visible was engineered to provide founders with tools that simplify investor relations, communication, captable management, and ongoing performance tracking. Equally important they wanted to build a comprehensive platform that helps investors, of all types, track and report on the performance of their individual and aggregate investments (including angel, seed, VC, and private equity funds).
