Affinity primarily works with venture capital, commercial real estate, family office, investment baking, private equity, and consulting companies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Series C funding will help Affinity continue to invest in its relationship intelligence technologies by developing new updates and features for its Affinity Analytics and Affinity CRM platform.

In it, they said, &#8220;This funding round is an incredible vote of confidence for our vision to create a world where anyone can cultivate and fully harness their network to succeed&#8230;We have a slew of updates and new features coming that will continue to push the envelope for what it means to deliver a relationship platform and CRM that dealmakers actually love using every day.
