4Degrees
The intelligent CRM for relationship-driven teams
About 4Degrees
4Degrees is a relationship intelligence CRM purpose-built for venture capital, private equity, investment banking, M&A, and consulting firms. It combines automatic data capture from email, calendar, and third-party sources (Crunchbase, Pitchbook, Clearbit) with relationship strength scoring to help deal teams find warm intros, track deal flow, and close more deals.
Pros & Cons

Cons
- Pricing is not public — requires a sales call to get a quote
- Overkill for general sales teams outside private markets and deal-driven workflows
- Mobile app and reporting are less polished than the desktop experience
- Smaller ecosystem and integration library than mainstream CRMs like Salesforce or HubSpot
