Onboarding process with Vestberry
How long does it take to get on board at Vestberry, what are the best practices, and how to choose the right implementation option for you?
Summary
Norrsken VC, leading Europe’s largest ecosystem for impact tech entrepreneurs from Sweden, is a VC fund from Sweden that has successfully completed the onboarding to Vestberry within just 4 weeks.
The primary goal of the onboarding was to train the client how to use the Vestberry platform and do complete data migration for all 30 companies within their portfolio as quickly as possible, including financial KPIs, transaction data, cap tables, and fund management data. The role of the Customer Success team was to do a data gap analysis, consolidate, and transfer data so that the client could get a clear value from using the platform within a few weeks.
Client’s Challenge
The challenge that Norrsken VC faced is a similar one to many VC funds – unstructured and unconsolidated portfolio data spread across several Excel files which oftentimes led to increasing the risk of errors and lack of transparency. In addition, the client was not able to work with real-time data. The onboarding was scheduled for one month, with one project owner from the client’s side. The client had limited resources and requested Vestberry to support and complete the data migration. The goal was to onboard the client fully to be able to present the tool internally and start using it as soon as possible. Norrsken VC also wanted to utilize all Vestberry features and requested the Vestberry team to implement a complex set of historical portfolio data: financial KPIs, investments, fund management data, and cap tables. Norrsken VC knew change was necessary, but moving all the data from Excel files to portfolio management and reporting software is not always easy.

Our approach
Kick-off call with the dedicated CSM, who prepared a tailored package. During the kick-off call, the milestones and essential deadlines were agreed upon.
During the onboarding process, the client had dedicated CSM support, and the client also actively participated in training sessions.
The client decided to use Vestberry Excel templates to fasten the onboarding, and after power user training, they were able to work with Vestberry confidently and train their own team.
Thanks to all the requested documents provided by the client on time, the CSM team could do the gap analysis, consolidate the data and transfer it into the platform in just 35 hours.
Dedication from the client’s side during the onboarding is essential. Understanding this, the client can have a single source of truth, the right numbers in place, and higher process efficiency within a few weeks.
