The Challenge
What InnoCap Was Facing
The founder had spent 12 years as a VC analyst and knew the pain intimately: fund managers were running deal pipelines in spreadsheets, chasing LPs over email, and manually assembling quarterly reports. He came to us with a deck, a clear hypothesis, and a hard constraint — he needed a working MVP before his next fundraising conversation, which was 10 weeks away. Nothing could be gold-plated.
The Solution
What We Built
We ran a two-day scoping sprint and cut the feature list from 34 items to 8 core flows: deal pipeline, LP registry, capital call tracking, and a one-click quarterly report generator. Everything else was deferred to v2. We shipped the MVP in 9.5 weeks, gave the founder two weeks of buffer for investor demos, and documented every deferred feature with the rationale for why it was cut — so no assumptions were lost.
