Sponsor Trove vs. DocSend
DocSend tells you who opened your deck. Sponsor Trove turns them into sponsors.
DocSend is a great way to share documents and see how people engage with them, from pitch decks to data rooms. But knowing who opened your prospectus is only the start of selling a sponsorship. Sponsor Trove puts deck tracking and your sponsorship pipeline in one place, so every reader becomes a deal you can follow up on.
Where tracking alone stops short
Views live in one tool, deals in another
DocSend shows you who viewed your deck, but it isn't a CRM. Turning those views into a pipeline means a second tool and an integration to connect them, or copying names over by hand.
Built for every kind of document
DocSend serves fundraising decks, sales collateral and data rooms alike. It doesn't know about sponsorship packages, events or revenue goals, so the selling still happens somewhere else.
The follow-up is still up to you
Seeing that a sponsor read your deck is the signal. Remembering to call them, knowing what they asked, and tracking where the deal stands is the work, and it needs a home.
What you get with Sponsor Trove
Every reader becomes a deal, automatically
Share your prospectus as a Sponsor Trove link. Prospects enter their name and email to view it, and each new reader is added to your pipeline as a deal, matched to their company, with every visit and return visit logged on it. No integration to set up.
- Named views and return visits
- One link for everyone, or one per prospect
- Your logo and colors on the viewer
Prospects can ask your deck questions
While they read, prospects can ask questions and get instant answers drawn from your document. Every question lands on the deal, and anything your deck doesn't cover is flagged for you, so you know exactly what to cover on the call.
- Answers come only from your deck
- Unanswered questions flagged for you
- A clear signal of who's serious
A pipeline built for sponsorships
Track every sponsor from first view to signed, by package and amount, and see how close each event is to its revenue goal. Stages and fields are yours to adjust.
- Drag deals between stages
- Goal progress for each event
- Custom fields when you need them
Follow-ups right on the deal
When a sponsor says "come back after our budget review," add a follow-up with a quick date. Due ones turn amber, overdue ones turn red, and a Follow-ups due view shows everything owed today.
- Tomorrow, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, or any date
- As many as a deal needs
- Completed follow-ups kept as history
The conversation next to the views
Connect Gmail and every email with a sponsor lands on their deal, next to their deck visits and questions. See who read your prospectus and what they said about it in one place.
- Read-only, and only emails with your pipeline
- Matched by contact and company email domain
- Flags sponsors waiting on your reply
AI that connects the views to the next step
Every deal gets a short summary with what to ask on the next call, drawing on their visits, questions and notes. Ask "What should I focus on today?" and the assistant starts with follow-ups that are due, then the deals that need you.
- Summaries refresh as deals change
- Answers link straight to the deal
- Drafts follow-up emails for you
