Our in-house CRM and relationship development automation system allows us to track potential targets and build relationships over time. Our team captures emails and contracts and logs related calls, meetings, and data, introducing a whole new level of productivity. 

Our industry data, deal CRM, allow us to track key developments, track progress against investment criteria, and build relationships at scale.
