## 1. Description
Rings AI is the modern CRM for recurring relationships — an AI-native XRM (extended relationship management) platform that serves as a primary CRM or as an enrichment layer over an existing CRM. Where transactional CRMs were built for sales teams and treat relationships as static leads that end when a deal closes, Rings is built for networked businesses where relationships compound over time. It is purpose-built for investors, founders, business development teams, and other professionals whose work runs on long-arc, repeated interactions with people, companies, and capital sources.
## 2. Key Product Features and Capabilities
- **Pathpower® — Relationship Intelligence**: Proprietary relationship scoring across 10+ vectors that plots a team's network across the market. Unlike transactional CRMs that only show whether anyone on the team knows a company's employees, Pathpower® folds in investors, board members, advisors, alumni, bankers, and other influencers, surfacing the strongest paths to any target and the strength of each connection.
- **Zero-click Relationship Creation**: Rings automatically builds the team's relationship graph by capturing all historical and present email and meeting activity and scoring every relationship. No manual data entry, no reps logging notes after meetings.
- **Complete Relationships**: Relationship context that normally lives scattered across inboxes, notes, market databases, and spreadsheets is unified into a single legible view of every person and company in seconds. Includes notes, files, meeting and email history, deal context, lists, and full enrichment.
- **People-First Processes (Pipeline, Dealflow, Projects, Fundraising)**: Transactional CRMs build processes around dollars; Rings builds them around people. Fully customizable, multi-level pipelines and projects support deal flow, fundraising rounds, LP outreach, intros, events, partnerships, recruiting, and any other recurring workflow. Native sub-opportunity hierarchy. Opportunity Roles (Champion, Decision Maker, Blocker, Introducer) give every deal explicit role context.
- **Rings Outreach**: Multi-step relationship-aware campaign sequences that respect the relationship graph rather than blasting cold lists.
- **150M+ Day-1 Data Points**: Global market data is in the CRM the moment a customer onboards — round-by-round funding history, company info, contact records, social and email channels, employment history, investor portfolios, and third-party enrichment — with the team's relationship data overlaid on top of all of it. No incremental cost, no credit system, no enrichment caps.
- **Proactive AI & Agents**: AI that acts with the full picture — team activity, market data, and the web — to deliver consistently complete meeting prep dossiers, relationship summaries, process briefs, and proactive surface-ups at the right moments.
- **Talk to Notes / Natural Language Search**: Ask questions in plain English to query notes, history, and the full relationship graph, and receive grounded answers.
- **AI Scoring**: Proprietary scoring for companies, investors, and funds, including LP-likelihood scoring for fundraising workflows.
- **Lists & Custom Context**: First-class lists for segmentation, list-based workflows, custom fields, rich notes, file storage, and broad configurability. (Rings uses lists rather than person-level tags; some customers use lists as a form of tagging.)
- **Smart Notifications & Recurring Updates**: Job changes, role changes, new-to-me contacts, follow-up overdue alerts, and other relationship signals are surfaced proactively.
- **Mobility & Embedded Surfaces**: Full-feature iOS app with parity to web. Chrome extension that surfaces Rings context inside Gmail, LinkedIn, and across the web.
- **Workspace, Privacy & Security**: Team-based workspaces with three layers of user-level privacy controls for sensitive deals and contacts. Dedicated customer success in Slack.

## 6. Leadership
**Martin Gedalin, Founder & CEO** — Martin built Rings AI out of two decades of firsthand frustration as a practitioner of recurring-relationship work. He has roughly 20 years of venture capital experience, including founding **Lumia Capital**, a global growth-stage venture firm. Earlier in his career he worked on **Oracle Fusion CRM**, giving him an unusual dual perspective: he has both built CRM at the platform level and lived as the customer who couldn't make any existing CRM fit a relationship-driven business. He holds an **MBA from The Wharton School** at the University of Pennsylvania. Rings is the CRM he wished he had as an investor.
