Save Hundreds of Hours Annually: Transform LP Engagement with Podawaa and Waalaxy

Excited to share my top tools for streamlining outreach and engagement, saving you weeks of effort, and helping you strengthen your LP relationships

My daughter just took her first trip to France, and she had an absolutely amazing time. It brought back memories of my first trip to Paris in the summer of 1997. Back then, I expected to fall in love with the classics—the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, the Opera House—and while those were incredible, what truly blew me away was something unexpected: the energy of the French tech scene. Paris wasn’t just about art and culture; it was a hub of innovation. 

Years later, when I was leading sales and business development at the YC startup Terravion, I had the privilege of working with Thiabut Scholasch, founder of Fruition Sciences. His groundbreaking technology revolutionized the wine industry, proving that France wasn’t just innovating in tradition—it was transforming it. French startups have been blowing my mind for more than a decade.

It’s no surprise that two of the most innovative companies for modern investor relations today hail from France. From this moment on, you’ll never look at LinkedIn—or your LP relationships—the same way again.

In today's digital-first landscape, LinkedIn has become indispensable for investor relations (IR) professionals managing relationships with existing Limited Partners (LPs) and identifying new ones. However, standing out in this crowded space requires much more than just maintaining a presence; it demands strategic engagement and efficiency. In today’s guide, we’re going to show you how to:

1. Save hundreds of hours per year on investor relations tasks

2. Grow your LP base substantially in a passive way

3. Set up your LinkedIn so you can delegate it while you’re on big projects or on vacation

4. 100x the amount of likes on each LinkedIn post (and no, you do not need to give up editorial control of your LinkedIn account in order to do this)

5. Finally get LinkedIn prospecting integrated with your CRM system via Zapier

Note: I don’t have a business relationship with either Waalaxy or Podawaa. I’m a paying customer of Podawaa, and I’ve been a customer of both for about 5 years. I’ve tried lots of different tools to accomplish what these two tools do, and I haven’t been able to find anything better.
