Lakehouse Capital
Transforming Investment Management and Client Relationships with HubSpot

Situation
Lakehouse Capital, a boutique investment management firm, manages two primary investment funds: the Global Growth Fund and the Small Companies Fund. Committed to alignment, trust, and delivering strong long-term returns, Lakehouse Capital sought a unified operational platform to support its complex investment management structure and personalised client communication.
The Problem
Lakehouse Capital faced several critical operational challenges:
Fragmented Systems and Data Silos
Investor data was scattered across Excel, Zendesk, Mailchimp, and Apex, obstructing a comprehensive view of client relationships and interactions.
Complex Investor Structures
Difficulty in accurately managing and linking complex investor entities (Trusts, Super Funds, Individuals) impeded personalised client communication.
Limited Tracking and Follow-Up
The lack of tools for effectively tracking engagements from newsletters, webinars, and events caused poor lead nurturing and missed opportunities.
Revenue and Productivity Loss
Manual processes led to inefficiencies, missed cross-sell and upsell opportunities, and inconsistent client communications, negatively impacting revenue.
Impact
These operational inefficiencies had significant consequences:
Reduced Productivity
Excessive manual tasks reduced staff capacity to focus on strategic initiatives.

Lost Opportunities
Ineffective tracking and fragmented data led to missed investor engagement and upselling opportunities.
Inefficient Client Segmentation
Limited ability to categorise and effectively communicate with investors hampered targeted outreach.
Slow Response Times
Inefficient email management led to delayed responses, affecting investor satisfaction.
Solution: Streamlined Operations with HubSpot
Lakehouse Capital partnered with ScaleStation to implement HubSpot’s Marketing Hub Professional and Sales Hub Enterprise, creating an integrated, streamlined solution.
Unified Data Structure
Leveraged Sales Hub Enterprise Custom Objects and properties to mirror the registry data structure received from Apex, automating monthly imports and eliminating manual data handling.
Robust Data Model
Established accurate associations and hierarchies between Primary Contacts, Secondary Contacts, Funds, Transactions, and Agents.
Integration with Make
Automated calculations of total fund values and dynamic association of Funds to clients with accurate tagging, eliminating manual checks.
Enhanced Marketing Automation
Custom-designed emails and web forms enabled direct lead capture and automated timely responses. Automated workflows dynamically updated client lifecycle stages (Interested/Active/Closed).
Centralised Communications
Integrated HubSpot’s Conversation Inbox with their support email to streamline ticket creation and assignment, significantly improving response times.
Outcome: Operational Efficiency and Improved Client Engagement
The HubSpot implementation delivered measurable improvements:
Reduced Response Time
Integration of Conversation Inbox resulted in a 25-30% reduction in email response time.
Enhanced Engagement
Clear client segmentation and targeted outreach led to approximately a 15% uplift in investor re-engagement.
Automation Efficiency
Elimination of manual event registration checks and fund transaction verifications improved productivity significantly.
Dynamic Lifecycle Management
Automated updates of investor lifecycle stages significantly boosted pipeline conversions and investor relationship management.
