Overview
Affinity is a high-performance relationship intelligence platform engineered specifically for sectors driven by deal flow, such as Venture Capital, Private Equity, and Investment Banking. Its 2026 architecture is built on a foundation of 'passive data capture,' utilizing patented algorithms to automatically ingest and analyze communication streams from email, calendar, and third-party data providers. Unlike traditional CRMs that require manual entry, Affinity's technical edge lies in its automated entity resolution and relationship scoring models, which quantify the strength of connections based on interaction frequency, recency, and depth. By 2026, the platform has integrated advanced generative AI for deal summarization and predictive networking, enabling firms to uncover 'warm intros' through graph-based analysis of their collective network. The platform's enterprise-grade security and robust API ecosystem allow it to serve as a central source of truth for firms managing billions in AUM, bridging the gap between raw contact data and actionable investment intelligence.
