Hello Fellow Product Hunters! πŸ‘‹ It's Pavithran here – part of the team that worked on Fundraising OS aimed at democratizing navigating the complex VC ecosystem for first-time founders in India. Two years ago, I started my VC career, and having interacted with 100+ first-time founders who reached out to me to raise funding, I have found that they feel the entire process to be intimidating. So, I spoke with my fellow VCs and startup ecosystem friends to put together this team, who helped with my vision to break down the process of fundraising into clear and concise steps, so that even first-time founders can have a solid understanding of how to secure the funding they need to turn their ideas into a reality. Today, we're taking one step in this direction and introducing Fundraising OS: πŸ’» An actionable dashboard and checklist system. πŸ“˜ A personal CRM of a founder during the fundraising journey. In short, the Fundraising OS notion templates help founders manage investor relationships, and track milestones, and progress. Cheers to the dozens of founders who had supported us in bringing this template to life, by being the early adopters. We're glad to hear your feedback, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! We wish to play a small role in every first-time founder's fundraising journey.

Interesting concept! Can you share more about how Fundraising OS stands out from other fundraising tools out there? Excited to check it out!
Pavithran Chidambaram
@jorexnovik People can have complete control over their data management and can effortlessly customize the dashboard to suit your needs.
Daniel Schramm
Has no one noticed yet that Framer's logo was stolen here without any modification? EDIT: They changed it.
Marvin Blum
@danielschramm @uma_venugopal And most likely illegal.
Julie Chabin
@danielschramm I definitely noticed. Framer is quite popular on Product Hunt… if I were the Makers, I'd change the logo cc @pavithran_chidambaram
Pavithran Chidambaram
@danielschramm AI tricked us :( I was not initially aware of this error. However, we have since rectified the issue and updated our logo accordingly. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Daniel Schramm
@pavithran_chidambaram Artificial Intelligence tricked you into downloading a logo from the web and uploading it here? Looks like we really are doomed...
Pavithran Chidambaram
@danielschramm Well, I thought I was being a creative genius when I used a popular logo creator for a 'Fundraising' logo, but turns out it was just a sneaky AI trickster suggesting the Framer logo! I mean, how was I supposed to know?! Anyway, I've learned my lesson and now I double-check everything with a good old Google search by image. Thanks, AI, for keeping me on my toes!

Ilya Yaroshevich
Hello, Makers! 🀚 Well done on getting Fundraising OS on Product Hunt! πŸ‘ It looks great! I have a question. How long have you been developing this?
Himansu Varghese
@ilyayaroshevichqa Hi Illya, thank you for the kind words! @pavithran_chidambaram has been working on this for the past few months!
Chameli Kuduva
Congratulations @pavithran_chidambaram ! This is a super sleek way to keep track of items while you're fundraising. I can relate to it 100%
Himansu Varghese
@pavithran_chidambaram @chameli_kuduva Thanks a ton Chameli! The aim is to reduce the pain of the founders!
Pavithran Chidambaram
@chameli_kuduva Thank you, Chameli! I've noticed that many CRM systems can be rigid and difficult to use, which has motivated me to create a system that is more fluid and user-friendly. I believe that a simple and intuitive CRM system can greatly improve the fundraising process.
Roop Reddy
Congratulations on the launch! Trying to download it, but it was getting struct on the gum road payment page.

@roopreddy Hi Roop, This is an Gumroad issue. We have already reported it and are waiting for a resolution. In the meantime, you can use the direct link to duplicate it: https://indiaa.notion.site/Fundr...

So good! I can totally see this being adopted by every early stage co, and have it become its own demo-day!

Cant get it. Gumroad says: our card was not charged. Please try again on a different browser and/or internet connection. Only for this product. Even if I try to get it for free.

This comment is more for @gumroad than for you, but I wasn't able to buy this even after trying 3 times. Money was debited too :(
Himansu Varghese
@manu_mittal Oh no! Not sure what the issue is Manu. We've had over 100 downloads today so far, and no other issues yet. Checking internally with Gumroad. Meanwhile, please feel free to download it for free!
