Case Study: IrishAngels Doubles Its Deal Pipeline in One Quarter with Copper

How IrishAngels Doubled Its Deal Pipeline with Copper in One Quarter

IrishAngels is a Notre Dame‑connected early seed venture firm with a 230‑member angel network and an eight‑person team focused on sourcing deals and managing relationships. They struggled with scattered Google Sheets and lost visibility into fast‑moving email conversations and deal data, making it hard to track hundreds of founders, remember last touchpoints, and coordinate follow‑ups across the team.

They implemented Copper as a single source of truth—building five customized pipelines (investors, co‑investors, LP prospects, member recruitment, and follow‑ons), using automations and calendar‑synced tasks to standardize follow‑ups and capture notes and email history. The result: clearer team collaboration, faster follow‑up, and a doubling of their deal pipeline from about 100 to over 200 companies per quarter.
