Bigin is Zoho's simplified CRM for small businesses. Honest comparison of when it fits a fundraise and when a fundraise-specific tool wins.
Bigin is Zoho's answer to solopreneurs and micro-teams who found full Zoho CRM overkill. Simple, cheap, mobile-first. Here's how it holds up if reused for investor tracking.
Simple pipeline-first UI, mobile-optimized, cheap. $7–$12/user/month. Fast to adopt for a solo founder who wants a lightweight tracker.
It's a general lightweight CRM. No investor database, no matching against your stage, no deck scoring, no fundraise-specific outreach. You supply the strategy and the data.
Free for up to 500 records. $7–$12/user/month paid. Cheaper than most fundraise-specific tools; the total cost is measured in your time doing manual investor research.
Solo founder who has already built the investor list, knows exactly who to reach out to and what to say, and just wants a cheap mobile-first tracker.
When you want investor matching against your stage, deck scoring, and outreach anchored to real signals — capabilities Bigin doesn't ship.
Bigin for lightweight customer pipeline; a fundraise-specific tool for the round. The two don't conflict.
