Streak
CRM that lives inside Gmail
4.0FreemiumBest for Angels and solo GPs running deal flow from the inbox
CRM Gmail Lightweight
Overview
Streak turns Gmail into a CRM, putting pipelines, deal stages, and shared context directly in the inbox where most early deal flow actually happens. For angels going pro and solo GPs, it removes the biggest CRM failure mode — nobody updating the system — because the system is the email client. Mail merge, tracking, and shared pipelines cover a surprising amount of a small fund's workflow before a dedicated venture CRM becomes necessary.
