RELATIONSHIP INTELLIGENCE

Network insights curated for dealmakers

Use the network of your entire firm to find the warm introduction to your next deal

Relationship insights driving deals

Relationship Intelligence solves the network problem shared by both dealmakers and the associates who support them. Dealmakers find and close deals. Without the right insights, they risk not being involved in the right deal—or not closing it—because they were late to engage or failed to understand the dynamics of the people involved. Most CRMs lack any automated data capture and enrichment, making data drudgery real for every firm. Affinity CRM delivers automated relationship intelligence directly within the workflow of every dealmaker. No more asking who knows the CEO at a startup and no more missing the introduction that can close the deal.

Automatically create and manage your network

With every email you send and every meeting you have, Affinity captures those in your entire firm's network to create contact and company records—saving more than 200 hours each year in data entry. Every interaction is analyzed to establish the strength and nature of the relationship, generating insights that drive dealmaking.

Relationship insights to drive deals

Relationship Intelligence shows your firm's connection to founders, investors, and other key people in your dealmaking network. Use relationship strength and engagement history to uncover a warm path of introduction that can help close a deal 25% faster.

Extend your network with Affinity Alliances

Connect networks with close allies to unlock paths to your biggest opportunities. By inviting trusted partners, alliances, or portfolio companies to share their network, you can uncover new relationships and the warm introduction you need to your next deal.

What is relationship intelligence?

Dealmakers miss out on high quality deals when they don't have a relationship with a founder or they lack insights about a startup. Relationship intelligence gives dealmakers insights about their firm's network, the startups or firms they target, and the history of engagement with them—so they can spend their time finding, managing, and closing the right deals.
