Wasp for investors who promised to follow up and did not
An intro you meant to make, a founder you said you would circle back to: the promises that build a reputation as a good investor are easy to lose across a full portfolio.
The short version
Investing runs on informal promises made across a portfolio: an intro, a follow-up after a board meeting, a reply to a founder's update. None of it lives in a CRM, most of it is said in an email or after a call, and the founders on the other end notice exactly which investors keep their word. Wasp catches those promises and holds you to them.
The commitment pattern
The relationships that make an investor worth having on a cap table are built out of small follow-throughs: the intro said to be coming, the reply to a founder's monthly update, the check-in after a board meeting went badly. None of these are logged anywhere. They are said in a reply or a call and then the portfolio moves on to the next thing.
Founders talk to each other, and which investors reliably follow through on what they say is part of that conversation. Wasp catches the commitment at the point it is made, across the whole portfolio, not just the deal that happens to be loudest that week.
What Wasp catches for you
- An introduction you told a founder you would make
- A reply you owed on a monthly or quarterly update
- A follow-up you promised after a board meeting or a hard conversation
Who this fits
This fits angels and investors following a portfolio of relationships where the follow-through is promised informally, in email, rather than tracked in a deal system.
If you run a formal LP-reporting cadence with a team tracking every founder touchpoint, that system is likely already covering this.
Where Wasp is today, plainly
Wasp is pre-launch. The product is built and the waitlist is open, and there is nothing to buy yet. There are no customer testimonials on this page because there are no customers yet. Rather than borrow someone else's quotes or manufacture any, here is what can be checked instead: the live demo runs the real interface on invented data with no account needed, and the changelog lists what has shipped and when.
Questions
Does Wasp track my portfolio or cap table?
No. Wasp does not manage investments or ownership data. It reads Gmail and Calendar to catch the commitments you make in conversation with founders and LPs, nothing about the deals themselves.
Does this work for LP updates as well as founder follow-ups?
Yes, Wasp catches any commitment made in your connected inbox, whether it is to a founder, a co-investor or an LP.
