Getro VS DIY NEtwork Management

Why choose Getro over building your own network solution?

Building a patchwork of Airtable and Zapier might feel scrappy, but it drains resources, erodes data quality, and limits your ability to scale intros while protecting your reputation.

Switch to a unified and automated network management approach so you never miss a deal, never use outdated data, and get 1 hour back for every intro made.

Automate your network
Getro has been a gamechanger for intros. With Getro, I'm having a lot more conversations and funneling more candidates to our companies.

What does a VC network management platform actually do?

A network management platform centralizes and enriches your fund’s contacts, companies, and job opportunities, making it easy to:
‍
- Find “Who do we know that does X?” in seconds.
- Identify the best person for Y in your global network.
- Discover the warmest possible intro path and facilitate the connection instantly.

Every contact in your network represents untapped opportunity. Getro removes the manual work so you can focus on building relationships and making introductions that accelerate portfolio growth.

How much time and money can Getro save a venture capital team?

Time saved: 15+ hours per week per team member and portco founders.
‍Money saved: 25% of salary saved from recruiter fees & 1000s of credits across tools.
‍Deal-flow impact: 40% faster deal flow through warm introductions.

The real ROI? Deals that happen because you made the right intro at the perfect moment — something a patchwork of Airtable, Notion, and spreadsheets can’t deliver.

How does Getro improve VC portfolio introductions compared to DIY or other tools?

Most tools help you store contacts; Getro helps you activate them. Instead of manually searching through CRMs or spreadsheets, Getro surfaces the warmest, highest-conversion intro path in seconds using enriched data and your team’s shared relationships.

‍Proven results:
- 40x higher conversion on warm intros

- Portfolio companies hitting 100% ARR goals faster
‍
