“Vessel is the platform we use to engage every LP — for co-investments, fundraises, reporting, all of it. It’s become part of how we run the firm.”
— Chris Arsenault, Founding Partner, Inovia Capital

About Inovia
Inovia Capital is a full-stack venture capital firm managing over $2.5 billion in AUM, with strategies spanning discovery, venture, growth, and co-investments.
The challenge: a fundraising and IR landscape that changed permanently
Over the last five years, Inovia’s pace of fundraising and co-investments dramatically increased. The firm went from raising a fund every few years to multiple strategies and vehicles per year — without significantly expanding its IR headcount.
"GPs today need to speak to more LPs, with higher expectations — and the IR team hasn’t doubled to keep up. Most management fees go to investment and value creation teams, not IR.".
Chris Arsenault
At the same time, co-investments became a key lever for deepening LP engagement — but the internal systems (email, spreadsheets, legacy portals) couldn’t support the scale.
“Five years ago, it was fine to send a DocSend and chase replies. But with 40 LPs looking at co-investments every month, we hit a wall.”

Use case 1: scaling co-investments without losing the LP experience
Inovia has raised over $1B in co-investment capital across more than 30 deals. But growth exposed friction:
LPs got overwhelmed by heavy data rooms
GPs had no way to track who saw what, or who passed
Internal teams spent hours chasing updates
With Vessel, Inovia now is able to:
Pre-markets deals through teaser pages before term sheets are signed
Share live co-investment portals tailored to each LP segment
Track engagement and preferences across LP types
Use modern UX to onboard HNWIs and family offices without the drop-off seen with legacy data rooms
“With Novisto, we were oversubscribed and brought in two new HNW LPs — that’s a first for us. The difference was the Vessel experience.”
Mia Morisset
Use case 2: raising the bar on LP reporting and access
From the CFO’s office to the finance team, reporting and document management had become a bottleneck.
“Before Vessel, everything was in Excel or sent by email. The volume was unmanageable. We needed a unified system.”
Patrick Ghoche
“Now I upload a file, it’s mapped to LPs instantly, validated, and live. What took three steps now takes one.”
Kristopher Mariani
With Vessel, Inovia:
Automates reporting across capital calls, tax slips, financials, and distributions
Reduces manual input and eliminates mapping errors
Centralizes KYC, recurring requests, and contact management
Gives LPs real-time dashboards instead of static PDFs
Use case 3: unifying fundraising and relationship intelligence
Inovia now uses Vessel across the full LP lifecycle:
Personalized fund pages for pre-marketing and fundraising
Real-time analytics on LP engagement
Integrated records of past co-investments and fund commitments
Shared visibility across the IR, finance, and investment teams
“Fundraising used to mean juggling Excel, email, and a separate data room. Now it’s all in one system.”
Patrick Ghoche
What Vessel unlocked for Inovia
✔️ A unified system to manage IR across fundraising, co-investments, and reporting
✔️ Faster LP decision-making through early visibility and live deal tracking
✔️ A professional LP experience that matches Inovia’s brand
✔️ Automation of high-volume, high-risk workflows
✔️ A foundation for AI-powered IR
“We’re building trust with transparency. Vessel helps us deliver that — with less manual work and more consistency.”
Patrick Ghoche
The future: from admin to AI-enabled IR
As AI reshapes how GPs operate, Inovia sees IR as a strategic lever — not a support function.
“IR used to be 80% prep, 20% relationship. That’s flipping. With tools like Vessel, IR becomes part of how we operate — not a separate lane.”
Chris Arsenault
From auto-prep before LP meetings to investor profiling and smart distribution lists, Inovia is working closely with Vessel to shape the next evolution of fundraising technology.
Why Inovia would recommend Vessel to other GPs
As AI reshapes how GPs operate, Inovia sees IR as a strategic lever — not a support function.
“If you’re fundraising, managing co-invests, or scaling your LP base — this is the platform you want. It’s intuitive, built for GPs, and helps you raise with less friction and more clarity.”
Kristopher Mariani
“Whether you’re a first-time fund or have 10 funds and 30 SPVs — Vessel simplifies it all.”
