Attio is a general-purpose deal management platform with a range of customers across different industries. Attio has expanded quickly — it now markets an 'agent-native' CRM with agentic Ask Attio (which can take actions, not just answer questions), Slack and ChatGPT access, and connection-strength scoring on every plan. Where Affinity stands apart is depth and context for private capital: a relationship graph built from interaction history, email velocity, meeting patterns, and org-level mapping, plus 40+ native data sources (including PitchBook) included at every license tier rather than billed as enrichment add-ons. Attio remains a general-purpose platform; its relationship signals and data model aren't built around fund, deal, and LP structures. They're built around sales.

Affinity is built for relationship-driven teams. The platform further supports these teams with industry-standard technology requirements including automatic data capture, reporting and analytics, and most importantly relationship intelligence—insights into teams’ networks, business connections, and customer interactions that help find, manage, and close more deals. The insights gained from sophisticated but easy-to-use business intelligence help teams compete in the rapidly accelerating market.

Affinity also serves a several-thousand-company global user base distributed across dealmaking private capital teams. With these teams in mind, Affinity is designed to be easily scalable for businesses of any size.

Traditional sales CRM platforms end up functioning more like a database than tools built for business intelligence. Simply storing contact and deal data is no longer enough, which is why dealmakers are transitioning to relationship intelligence CRM platforms to support their deals. The insights provided by platforms like Affinity are no longer add-ons, they’re table stakes for tech-forward teams that want to get—and stay—ahead of the competition. Here are a few ways teams are using Affinity’s relationship intelligence to build a better business and close more deals:

• Boost productivity using AI tools—including Deal Assist, Industry Insights, and Affinity Notetaker—and make more informed decisions across the entire lifecycle of your deals.
• Custom trials using real company data enable you to get a more tangible view into how Affinity impacts your unique day-to-day workflows. And when you’re ready to fully migrate, all of your information is already in your new CRM—saving time on deployment and training.
• Easily customizable views of relationship and deal data mean your team can quickly make changes to your CRM at any time so they continue to fit your specific preferences and workflows.
• Native reporting and analytics functionality allow you to build reports to monitor forecasting, team productivity, deal flow, KPIs, and make more data-driven decisions to improve your business.
• Flexible integration options ensure your CRM is the foundation of your tech stack. Connect your other software to your CRM—from email providers like Gmail, Outlook, or Exchange to email marketing, marketing automation, and task management.
• Automated reminders and triggers ensure you never miss a follow-up with an important contact.
• Relationship intelligence is drawn from a combination of your team’s collective network—from customer interactions, meetings, phone calls, notes logged from exchanges on social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter, and everything in between—to give your team paths to new warm introductions and opportunities.

Relationship-driven deal teams need purpose-built tools, not legacy CRM or sales pipeline platforms. CRM solutions like Attio are beginning to scale to meet these needs, but teams that focus on relationships need relationship intelligence to inform better, data-driven investment decisions.

If your team is looking for a platform that’s as easy to use as a spreadsheet but sophisticated enough to manage every stage of your deal flow pipeline—supported by relationship intelligence, automated capture of all your communication data, and fully customizable, built-in reporting and analytics—choose Affinity.
