Best for relationship tracking for deal teams
4Degrees is a relationship-intelligence CRM for private-market deal teams, with data capture from email and calendar. No price is published and the next step is a demo, and it isn't built for quota-based sales funnels.
Who 4Degrees is for
- Fits if you track investors, founders and deals in a private-market firm
- Works for teams that want contacts filled from email and calendar
Who 4Degrees is not for
- Skip it if you want a price first, because none is published
- Not for you if you run quota-based sales, as it is built for deal teams
- Watch out: no free plan or trial is listed, only a demo
- Not for you if you want a general CRM, as it is narrow and built for deal firms
Why 4Degrees gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published; the vendor charges per user and quotes after a form request, so the cost is graded in the middle.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial is listed on the pricing page. The next step is a demo.
- CFeaturesRelationship intelligence, deal pipelines, automatic data capture, extensions, a Salesforce layer and an API. It is built for deal-driven firms, not general sales.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Connecting inboxes and data sources is part of the setup.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb plus browser extension, with PitchBook, Salesforce, Gmail, Outlook and Slack connections and an API with MCP.

Keep 4Degrees, or make your own?
Your call
A CRM at its plainest is a table of people and a board of deals.
You could make the core of 4Degrees for yourself: sales pipeline and reports. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Sales pipeline and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, PitchBook, Salesforce and Gmail among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. 4Degrees’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is 4Degrees?
4Degrees is a CRM for venture capital, private equity, M&A advisory, investment banking, consulting and commercial real estate teams. It syncs email and calendar to log interactions, scores relationship strength to suggest warm introductions, and tracks deals on kanban boards. It also works as an add-on layer for Salesforce. Pricing is per user per month but not published.
Worth knowing
- No price is published: the vendor says it charges per user per month and quotes after a form request.
- No free plan or free trial is listed on the pricing page; the next step is a demo.
- It is built for deal-driven firms, not for sales teams managing quota-based funnels.
Key features
- Relationship intelligence
- Relationship strength scoring points to the best introduction to a company, investor or expert, with alerts when key contacts change jobs or appear in the news.
- Deal pipelines
- Kanban boards and customizable reporting views show where each deal stands, with reminders and triggers when a deal sits too long at one stage.
- Automatic data capture
- Email and calendar sync populates records, and more than 20 enrichment sources including PitchBook and AI web research fill in company and contact details.
- Inbox and browser extensions
- Gmail and Outlook plugins, plus LinkedIn and Chrome extensions, show deal stages and mutual connections where the user is working.
- Salesforce layer
- A Salesforce edition adds relationship intelligence, warm-introduction finding and data enrichment to an existing Salesforce setup.
- API and MCP
- An API exposes contact, company and deal data, and an MCP connection lets AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude interact with it.
