Case Study: 8VC automates portfolio management with Standard Metrics

8VC - Customer Case Study

8VC, a San Francisco-based venture capital firm founded in 2015, needed a better way to manage investor relations and portfolio reporting across 100+ portfolio companies. Using legacy software and a patchwork of spreadsheets, emails, and PDFs, the team spent more than 50 hours per quarter chasing down information and struggling with inconsistent, hard-to-track data. Standard Metrics provided Fund Analytics, Tear Sheet, and Custom Reporting to help solve these challenges.

With Standard Metrics, 8VC automated recurring information requests, tracked follow-ups, and centralized company documents in a searchable dashboard. The platform standardized financial data across sources and gave the firm a scalable system for managing portfolio, bank, and firm data in one place. As a result, Standard Metrics reduced the time 8VC spent on data collection and management by 95%, improving visibility and helping the firm focus more on supporting portfolio companies.
