About Affinity
What is Affinity: CRM for Private Capital?
Affinity is an AI-first customer relationship management platform purpose-built for private capital firms—private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC). It automatically captures every email, meeting, and note across your firm, enriches that data with proprietary signals and 40+ sources (including Pitchbook, Preqin, and Grata), and uses relationship intelligence to surface the warmest paths to target companies, LPs, and co-investors. The result: your next deal comes from your existing network, not a broad process.
Who Is It For?
Affinity is designed for PE firms with multi-fund complexity, banker relationship tracking, and long-cycle dealmaking, as well as VC firms managing high-velocity dealflow, founder relationships, and scout/co-investor networks. It is not suited for general B2B sales teams, retail businesses, or non-investment workflows.
Real Use Cases
PE deal teams use Affinity to surface warm introductions to decision-makers at target companies before a process starts, and to automatically track banker and adviser coverage so proprietary flow doesn’t depend on a single person. VC teams organize founder relationships firm-wide, systematize scout and co-investor networks, and get thematic sourcing alerts for companies matching their fund’s thesis—even outside their existing network. Investor relations (IR) teams get the same relationship depth on LPs that deal teams have on targets.
Key features
