# Affinity

> Affinity is a relationship intelligence platform and CRM built for dealmakers — helping investment and business development teams leverage their networks to source, manage, and close deals.

## About

Affinity automatically captures relationship data from emails, calendars, and communications, giving teams a complete picture of who knows who and how strong those connections are. Unlike traditional CRMs that require manual data entry, Affinity works in the background — so relationship context is always up to date.

Affinity is used by venture capital firms, private equity funds, investment banks, mergers & acquisitions teams, and enterprise business development teams.

## Products

- **Affinity CRM**: A relationship-first CRM that auto-populates contact and interaction data, surfaces warm introduction paths, and helps teams stay on top of their pipeline without manual entry.
- **Affinity Analytics**: Reporting and insights layer that helps teams understand deal flow, network coverage, and relationship health over time.
- **Affinity for Chrome**: Browser extension for capturing and enriching contacts directly from LinkedIn and the web.

## Key Use Cases

- Sourcing and tracking investment opportunities (VC, PE, M&A)

## Target Audience

- Deal teams at growth-stage and enterprise companies

## Key Differentiators

- Automatic relationship data capture (no manual CRM entry)
