How Pipedrive helped Planet42 streamline fundraising and sales

Planet42 was struggling to track its sales and private equity pipelines. It needed a clear way to manage its investor contacts separately.

Pipedrive’s CRM platform provided clear pipelines, allowing the team to focus on growing the investor side of the business. With Pipedrive’s investor relationship management tools, Planet42 quickly grew its equity pipeline to over 700 leads.

“My process is simple. I have a separate pipeline for investors we have talked to and those who aren’t interested at the time, and I just leave them there. Then, once we go fundraising again, I move them to the first pipeline again, and so on and so forth. I keep repeating the process and changing the pipeline based on their interest level.”
