Visible
An investor-relationship hub.
A clean way to send investor updates, share decks and data rooms, run a fundraising pipeline and track metrics on dashboards. Genuinely good at keeping investors informed. But it stops at the relationship layer — no cap table, no bookings, no warm-intro CRM, no forward forecast, and no AI that acts across the whole raise.
Investor relations · part of the raise
Arx
A fundraising operating system.
The full fundraising stack — investor CRM with warm intros, pitch deck, bookings, data room, cap table, a driver-based forecast for the early stage, updates — with Ask Arx reasoning across all of it, on the platform and inside Claude. Built end-to-end for the early-stage raise.
Built for the raise
★ Where Arx pulls ahead · Warm intros
Rounds close on warm intros,
not cold lists.
Early round is rarely won by cold outreach. It moves through warm introductions — an advisor, an angel, a founder who knows the partner. Arx is built around that. The fundraise runs on your social capital, and you own it. Arx just gives you the tools to organize it and turn it into the next concrete step.
- Map your intro pathsAdd people from your network: advisors, existing investors, or other founders who can introduce you to your target funds.
- Share your listSend your list to your advisors. They can view it without having to sign up, and mark the funds they're connected to.
- One click introOnce you define an intro path to a fund, you can send an intro request directly from Arx.

★ Where Arx pulls ahead · Ask Arx
One AI, across every tool.
Visible's AI lives on the investor side. Ask Arx works for the founder — and because it sits on top of the whole workspace, it reads and acts across all your tools. Use it on the platform, or connect it to Claude and run your raise from there.
CRM
Updates the pipeline.
"Move everyone I met this week from Outreach to First Call."
Bulk pipeline edits and warm-intro mapping, with a confirmation step before it writes.
FORECAST
Edits the model.
"What if we close 30% more pipeline next quarter?"
Adjusts the driver, recalculates revenue, burn and runway, and shows the impact before you keep it.
CAP TABLE
Models the round.
"Show a $3M SAFE at a $12M cap."
Runs the pro-forma against your cap table and returns post-money ownership, dilution and the new stack.
DATA ROOM
Reads the room.
"What did Northbeam open first?"
Surfaces visit order, dwell per file and re-opens across every data room — answers Visible can’t.
BRIEFS
Preps you for the call.
"Brief me for the Northbeam meeting."
Partner background, recent deals and your live notes, packaged into a one-pager before you walk in.
CROSS-TOOL
Tells you what’s next.
"What should I do today?"
Looks across pipeline, deck views, the room and the calendar, and tells you the highest-leverage move.
★ Where Arx pulls ahead · The forecast
Visible tracks metrics.
Arx forecasts the future.
Visible charts the numbers you've already hit on dashboards. Arx projects what's ahead — a driver-based model built from what an early-stage founder actually knows: ACV, pricing, close rate, churn, current pipeline. Change a driver the model recomputes instantly. Or ask Arx to adjust them for you.
- Drivers, not historicalsStart from ACV, pricing, close rate, churn, pipeline — the numbers you actually know.
- Industry benchmarksArx compares your metrics to the industry standards the same way a partner would.
- Ask Arx to tune it"Up the marketing budget by 20% for year 2" — Arx changes the drivers and shows you the impact in the chat before it goes live.

The honest part
Visible runs with operational gaps.
Arx covers the entire raise.
Visible gets a lot of things right when it comes to managing investor relationships. It was originally built just for the monthly updates, and later expanded to include data rooms, pitch decks, dashboards and pipelines.
But closing a round takes more than that. You still need a cap table, a warm-intro CRM, bookings, a forecast, and an AI that understands your workspace end-to-end. That's the whole stack — and it's what Arx is.
Visible
$59+/mo

Arx

The bottom line
The whole stack.
One flat price.
Visible covers the investor-relationship layer — and stops there. Arx gives you that plus the cap table, bookings, warm-intro CRM and forward forecast, with an AI reasoning across all of it, on the platform and in Claude. Ten tools, $99/mo, unlimited seats.
