In a market where capital is harder to secure, the experience you provide your LPs is a key part of your value proposition. Today’s investors expect institutional-grade professionalism from day one, but for many smaller and mid-market GPs, the back-office reality is still a fragmented mess of PDFs and manual spreadsheets.
Ark is changing that.
We’re replacing the broken ‘bridge’ between fundraising and reporting with a unified environment that allows you to focus on executing your investment strategy rather than managing administrative drag.
That is why we are excited to announce our integration with Passthrough, the industry leader in digital investor onboarding and subscription document automation. This partnership creates a truly unified fundraising and fund operations environment, one where the entire process, from initial prospect engagement to ongoing reporting, flows with dramatically reduced manual effort.
A Unified Fundraising-to-Operations Pipeline
For fund managers, the fundraising process is often disconnected from the rest of the fund management process. You nurture a relationship in the data room, secure a verbal commitment, and then introduce the friction of manual paperwork – the final mile where commitments can stall and investor goodwill erodes.
The Ark and Passthrough integration solves this by connecting two essential stages:
- Seamless Prospect-to-Onboarding: Fund managers use Ark’s robust Fundraising Portal to manage due diligence, share documents securely, and track investor interest. The moment a prospect decides to commit, they move directly and intuitively into the digital workflow powered by Passthrough, completing subscription documents and compliance checks with speed and ease.
- Instant Data Hand-Off: Once the subscription documents are executed in Passthrough, the clean, structured investor data – capital commitments, entity details, tax information, and contact information – is seamlessly ingested by the Ark platform.
This direct data flow eliminates the most notorious operational break in the fund lifecycle: the time-consuming, error-prone manual data entry from PDF to your fund ops platform.
Immediate Operational Confidence
The impact of this integration is proven the moment the fund closes. By mapping Passthrough data directly into Ark’s general ledger and branded Investor Portal, we eliminate the lag between “signed” and “operational.”
- Fund Accounting: Data flows straight to your books, ensuring accuracy from day one and accelerating the time to your first capital call.
- LP Reporting: New investors gain instant access to their commitment details via your branded portal, establishing a foundation of transparency that lasts the life of the fund.
By combining Ark’s administrative power with Passthrough’s onboarding solution, we’ve created an end-to-end environment that turns operational efficiency into a competitive edge. This allows your team to move beyond the scramble of the back office and focus on what truly matters: generating returns and deepening LP relationships.
