Why VC CRMs Matter
VC CRMs are the operational backbone of venture capital firms. They track deal flow, manage relationships, log conversations, and provide analytics on pipeline health.
GitDealFlow integrates with VC CRMs via CSV export and API, feeding engineering momentum data directly into your deal tracking workflow. You see which startups are heating up, right inside your CRM.
The gap between best-in-class and average VC firms often comes down to CRM discipline. Firms with structured deal tracking consistently outperform those without.

How to Choose a VC CRM
For firms under $50M AUM: Notion or Airtable are sufficient. They're cheap, flexible, and integrate with GitDealFlow's CSV exports.
For firms $50-500M AUM: Affinity or Attio. They provide relationship intelligence, email integration, and team collaboration that scale.
For firms $500M+ AUM: Affinity or DealCloud. Enterprise features (API access, compliance, multi-fund tracking) justify the cost.
