VENTURE CAPITAL
RELATIONSHIP INTELLIGENCE
Navigate relationships with speed and precision
Founder, LP, and co-investor relationships demand precision. But keeping relationship context spread across inboxes, notes, market databases, and spreadsheets slows teams down. Rings’ venture capital CRM brings everything into one place so teams can move with speed and precision.
Complete Relationships
Founder, LP, co-investor and advisor context lives in inboxes, notes, market databases, and spreadsheets, requiring human glue to become legible. Rings makes every relationship legible in seconds.
Creation & Enrichment
Rings automatically creates your relationship graph from your email history, attaches them to the right company and keeps the data clean.
Activity Capture
When you see a person and think “when was the last time we talked?”, you shouldn’t need to click to get that answer. Wherever people or companies are in Rings, activity history is there too.
RECURRING CRM
Center your processes around people
Transactional CRMs are built around dollars. Rings’ processes and stored data are centered around people.
Dealflow
Rings’ association model is built for the multi-stakeholder reality of VC deals —attach any combination of people or companies to a deal.
Fundraising
Rings lets you manage multiple fundraises with ease and lets an LP be one or many people or companies, reflecting the flexibility of real LP relationships.
Projects & Intros
When tracking any process, a project, intro or event, Rings’ association model lets you capture all involved parties.
Notes & Context
Getting your notes into Rings is simple and once they’re there, they’re woven into every relationship, one click from wherever you are in Rings.

Venture Capital
Venture Capital
Deal pipeline, fundraising, sourcing and portfolio projects — four core workflows, one relationship-first data model. Here is how each one works in Rings.
01
Deal pipeline
Flexibility
Rings’ unique data model means that a deal can be attached to an unlimited number of companies and people. For early-stage funds where some founders don’t even have a company, Rings offers flexibility to define a deal by just that founder, something other CRMs can’t do.
Knowledge management
Rings’ pipelines automatically centralize all email and meeting comms, enable commenting and storage for notes, files and tasks — keeping all relevant deal data in one place.
Customization
Rings is completely customizable, letting you add fields and customize how you view your data to match how your team really works.
Integrated workflows
Rings integrates emails into your pipelines, letting you follow up, forward or conduct new threads without bouncing between your email inbox and CRM.
02
Fundraising
Customization
Rings is completely customizable, letting you add the fields that define your raise — commitment size, LP type, etc. — and build views that match how your team actually tracks a fund to close.
Bulk outreach
Rings lets you segment your LP pipeline or existing LPs by any number of fields then run bulk outreach, without compromising personalization, from inside of Rings.
Integrated workflows
Rings integrates emails into your fundraise pipeline, letting you follow up, forward or open new threads with LPs without bouncing between your inbox and CRM. Every message and meeting is captured against the LP automatically, so a raise that spans months never loses its thread.
03
Sourcing
Relationship mapping
The best deals come through the warmest path in. Rings’ Pathpower® maps your team’s relationships across the market — not just to founders and employees, but to the investors, board members and advisors around a company — so for any opportunity you’re sourcing, you can instantly see who can get you in front of it.
Integrated data
Sourcing usually means living between a market database and your CRM. Rings overlays your relationship and Pathpower® data directly onto 150M+ company and people records with 30 years of round-by-round history — so when you screen the market, you see which opportunities you can actually reach without switching tools.
04
Portfolio projects
Tracking introductions
Each intro has multiple parties, so Rings’ association model lets you attach the portfolio company, the recipient and the person making the connection to a single record, keeping every introduction and its outcome in one place.
Hiring referrals
Rings lets you track every referral — tying a candidate to the role, the hiring manager and the source who surfaced them — so the talent you pass along never slips through the cracks.
