The Hidden Friction in Angel Portfolio Management
Managing a portfolio of early-stage investments can feel like juggling on a tightrope. You’ve got:
- Tax deadlines looming.
- SEIS/EIS rules spinning your head.
- Commission fees eating into your returns.
Sound familiar? Many angels still lean on Excel sheets and manual checklists. They face these headaches every month. That’s why angel portfolio management needs a radical rethink.
Spotlight on Oriel IPO: A Fresh Approach
Oriel IPO isn’t just another crowdfunding site. It’s a commission-free, tax-focused SEIS/EIS marketplace. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Zero commission on funds raised.
- Curated deals vetted for SEIS/EIS eligibility.
- Educational resources: webinars, guides, Q&As.
In short: you connect with startups. You invest under SEIS/EIS. You keep every penny of your tax relief.

Why Traditional Tools Fall Short
Let’s talk about Datasset, a popular portfolio tool. They offer:
- A slick dashboard with IRR, multiples and KPI tracking.
- A 360° view of your entire financial portfolio.
- A network effect: co-investment opportunities among members.
Impressive. But there are catches:
- They charge a commission on assets under management.
- No direct SEIS/EIS deal flow. You still need a separate investment venue.
- Their focus is on analysis – not on finding and funding startups.
So yes, Datasset helps you monitor investments. But you still juggle fees and tax paperwork.
The Trade-Off
- Datasset: great for data, but costs add up.
- Excel: free, but error-prone.
- Oriel IPO: no commissions, streamlined investments, plus basic portfolio visibility.
