## What Kloup is

Kloup is the operating system for your startup. It consolidates the workflow of raising and running an early-stage company (pre-seed through Series A) into one product: investor pipeline, data room, AI investor updates, a unified WhatsApp + email Smart Inbox, warm intros, a live cap table, and a calendar-aware activity timeline. One surface founders run on — and the investors backing them trust.

## Who it's for

- **Founders raising** pre-seed through Series A — the active operator running the process.
- **Founder-CFOs / chiefs-of-staff** managing investor relations alongside the founder.
- **VCs and angels** backing those founders, who get clean structured updates, a trustworthy live cap table, and a warm-intro graph — see https://kloup.com/en-us/for-investors.

## For investors

Kloup is dual-sided: the same system that runs a founder's raise gives their investors the signal they actually want, with no extra work for either side. Investors get on-time, structured updates from every portfolio founder (no chasing), a live cap table they can trust at the next round, owned/watermarked/audited data rooms (no leaked Drive links), and a warm-intro graph that turns the investor's network into the founder's pipeline. The pitch to a VC: tell your founders to run on Kloup, and your portfolio becomes transparent by default.

## Core surfaces

### Pipeline
Drag-and-drop board of every investor in your raise: identified, contacted, met, in-DD, soft-circled, committed, passed. Custom check size, lead intent, and stage notes per investor. Bulk-imported from a CSV or seeded from your existing CRM.

### Investor Updates
A single editor that drafts a monthly investor update and publishes it across email, the data room, and a permalinked web page. Sub-audiences (current investors vs. prospects) get tailored sections. Read receipts and engagement metrics roll back into the pipeline.

### Smart Inbox
A unified inbox that pulls every WhatsApp chat and email (Gmail) with an investor into one two-pane surface, threaded to the right contact (people, companies, or groups). Reply inline — text, media, voice notes, or full email threads — without leaving Kloup. A ⌘K command palette searches every conversation; new messages arrive in real time and auto-link to the matching contact.

### Data Room
S3-backed file store with shareable links that expire, watermark on download, and log every view. Supports nested folders, version history, and per-investor access scopes. Cap table, pitch deck, financials, references — one URL per investor.

### Warm Intros
Maps your network (LinkedIn + email + calendar history) against your target investor list and surfaces the warmest path to each one. Generates the intro request email; tracks which intros went out and which converted.

### Timeline
Auto-builds a chronological activity log per investor from your calendar (meetings), email (threads), and Kloup actions (status changes, doc shares). The log lives in the pipeline card, so the next time you talk to an investor you have the full history one click away.

### Cap Table
Lightweight cap table modeling for round scenarios: post-money valuation, dilution per existing holder, ESOP top-ups, SAFE → priced conversion. Not a Carta replacement — a "what does this term sheet actually mean for me" calculator that lives next to the deal.

## Pricing model

Three tiers (see https://kloup.com/en-us/pricing):
