Automating Monitoring in Kruncher
After an initial Match, the company often goes to your watchlist for some time before you make a decision.
Kruncher also automates both your watchlist and portfolio monitoring with over 300 recognized metrics and signals that it tracks.
An additional layer of intelligence also works out what is important, ensuring that you only get key updates and not minor, noisy notifications.
Monitoring then becomes systematic, tailored to each company, and ready for partners, boards, and LPs, without manual spreadsheet work.
For example, this is how Watchlist monitoring may look like:
To do this, you need to toggle on automations for your Watchlist or Portfolio.
This will automatically re-run ALL company analysis in your Watchlist/Portfolio monthly/quarterly, giving you growth and decline signals and a numerical growth score.
Growth Score is a percentage number (%), both positive and negative. The higher the number, the better and faster growth rate that company is showing. Negative numbers means the company is de-growing, or in other words, declining.
Automating Founder Outreach
As a natural extension to connecting your email inbound into Kruncher, you can also send reply emails from within Kruncher, with content automatically populated referencing unique details about the company.
This process automates and massively simplifies your outreach process, reducing it to a few clicks compared to manually researching the company and the founders' Linkedin, etc.
Inside company reports, click the "Contact Company" button on the left bar just below the company's logo.
This will open a floating window and it will ask for you to choose an email template to use.
NOTE: Read more on customizing email templates in this guide.
After you selected a template, you can view what will be sent to the company/founder.
The template follows the overall structure set in the email template customization, but each email content is customized precisely to the company's most recent situation with your fund details as well.
After everything is filled up to your satisfaction, press the "Send Email" button.
Your email will be sent from your client as if you had typed it natively in Gmail/Outlook/etc.
Note that this button will appear as "Open Email" if you have not connected your email to Kruncher.
