# Decile Hub alternatives for new venture managers

> Decile Hub alternatives rarely match its whole scope, because it bundles deal flow with LP fundraising, fund admin and compliance. For the deal side, Affinity and Attio are CRMs, Airtable and Notion are build-your-own options, and Delsivo, which we make, handles inbound applications and thesis screening at the design partner stage. Fund accounting and LP work need separate tools in every case.

## Key takeaways

- Decile Hub covers fundraising, deal flow, back office and compliance, by invitation, and is free through VC Lab.
- None of the alternatives here does fund accounting, capital calls or LP reporting.
- Affinity and Attio cover relationships and pipeline; Airtable and Notion let you build a tracker.
- Delsivo focuses on reviewing founders: branded intake, deck citations, thesis rubric and claims.

## What makes Decile Hub different

Decile Hub comes from Decile Group, which also runs the VC Lab programme. Decile Group's product page groups its features into fundraising (data rooms, commitment pages), deal flow (a company submission portal, deal memo builder, portfolio monitoring), back office (fund accounting, reporting, tax documents) and compliance. The home page adds a set of AI agents, including a Deals agent that reads the pitch deck and a Thesis agent that helps write the fund's thesis.

Access is by invitation through a waiting list, and VC Lab participants get it for free. No prices for other firms are published.

## Decile Hub alternatives for the deal side

From each vendor's own pages, read on 6 November 2026

## Splitting the job across tools

Leaving Decile Hub usually means splitting its job. Fund administration and LP reporting go to a fund administrator or a specialist tool, which none of the options here replaces. The deal side then goes to a CRM, a self-built tracker or a screening tool.

Affinity covers the most of the deal side, from sourcing to IC prep and portfolio monitoring. Attio, Airtable and Notion cost less to start and ask more set-up work. Delsivo covers the review of inbound founders in more depth than a general tool, and nothing else.

## Delsivo and the thesis

Decile Hub's Thesis agent helps a manager write a thesis. Delsivo starts once you have one: you publish it as versioned hard rules, weighted preferences, exceptions and questions, and every application shows each criterion as Met, Mismatch or Unknown with the value found and its source. A mismatch goes to an analyst, never to an automatic rejection. See [thesis screening](https://delsivo.com/thesis-screening) and [Delsivo vs Decile Hub](https://delsivo.com/compare/delsivo-vs-decile-hub).

## Where Delsivo is weaker

- No fund accounting, capital calls, LP portal, LP reporting or fundraising tools; these are out of scope.
- No published prices, while Decile Hub is free for VC Lab participants.
- No API or integrations yet.
- Design partner stage, English first, PDF first.

## Frequently asked questions

A VC Lab news page on decilehub.com says VC Lab participants get full access for free. No prices for other firms were published on its pages on 6 November 2026.

### Which alternative covers LP reporting?

None of the options here. Affinity's venture capital page mentions fundraising support such as logging LP touchpoints, but fund accounting and LP reporting need a specialist tool or fund administrator.
