We reviewed several portals before choosing one. Most of them are larger and more established, and Vessel came out on top. The software is genuinely intuitive and easy to use, and the team behind it is excellent. What I value most is that every one of our LPs now has a single, secure place to find everything that's relevant to them. We publish a capital call or a report once, and every investor is notified automatically. No more emailing documents out one by one, no more encrypted ZIP files for the LPs who needed that extra security; it's all built into the platform now. For a lean team running seven funds, that's been a real unlock. The other standout is the team. They actually incorporate our feedback into their roadmap, and that responsiveness has made the whole relationship feel like a partnership rather than just a vendor.

Since we started using Vessel, we've doubled our co-invest volume, which has been a huge unlock for us. The biggest thing for me is that each of our LPs has their own personalized dashboard where they can see their deployed capital, their called capital, and all their documents. So when they call us, we can tailor the conversation to them right away. And on our side, we can actually see who's engaging with our materials, which means we're spending our time following up with the LPs who are genuinely interested.

I like how Vessel streamlines painful processes such as KYC, onboarding, and reporting. It's easy to use and has a nice look and feel, which makes it appealing. I really value the investor portal and reporting tools. We switched from Tylia because of the bad user experience, and Vessel is way better, providing a much more detailed platform. The initial setup was easy, which was another great point.
