4Degrees
4Degrees builds relationship intelligence and deal management software for private capital investors and their deal teams.
Competitive Advantages
The platform is organized around relationship data captured automatically rather than manual record entry: it syncs email and calendar activity, scores relationship strength, and surfaces warm introduction paths across a firm's combined network. This design targets deal teams that find generic sales CRMs poorly matched to private-market workflows.
The vendor also ships a Model Context Protocol integration so firms can query their own deal and relationship context from external AI tools, alongside Gmail, Outlook, and Chrome extensions and a complementary layer that runs alongside existing Salesforce installations.

Market Outlook
Private capital teams continue to replace spreadsheets and generic sales tools with purpose-built CRMs that model deal pipelines, LP relationships, and sourcing activity. 4Degrees competes in this category against relationship-intelligence and deal-management platforms such as Affinity, Intapp DealCloud, Altvia, and Dynamo.
The company has been extending its platform with AI capabilities, including an assistant that answers pipeline questions, document intelligence that extracts structured data from deal documents, and MCP access from external AI tools. This tracks a broader shift across the private-markets software category toward AI-assisted deal workflows.
