Attio raised a $52M Series B last year to build what an AI CRM should look like.
But only recently did I start using it the way it was actually meant to be used.
Before Attio, my "CRM" was memory and chaos.
Meeting notes from a first call I couldn't find before the second.
Warm intros sitting in my inbox for weeks.
A "circle back in Q3" that I remembered too late.
In venture, that's a real problem.
I just had a founder tell me: "Thanks for the follow-up Elana. Having just closed our B, we are heads down and aren't entertaining any funding conversations now, deferring them to late this year or early next at the earliest."
Without Attio, that message would've been a missed opportunity.
Not because I didn't meet the right company.
But because I probably wouldn't have followed up at the right time.
I told Ask Attio to set a reminder for September. Done.
But the reminder is just the first layer.
Attio records my calls. Syncs my emails. Captures every touchpoint without me lifting a finger. It's not a CRM anymore. It's my second brain for relationships.
And Ask Attio actually does the work I used to skip.
After a call last week, I asked it to suggest follow-ups based on our conversation. It pulled the context, flagged the next steps, and drafted a follow-up email I could send in two clicks.
Before a second call with a founder, I asked it to summarize everything from our first conversation. It pulled what they were raising, their timeline, the concerns I flagged, and the questions I never got to ask. I walked into that call like I had perfect memory. I didn't.
That's the shift.
It's not just storing information. It's acting on it.
The edge in venture isn't just who you meet. It's what you remember and when you act on it.
Attio handles both. I just show up.
