I'll add another to the list for the center of the Venn diagram. Cinch (https://www.getcinch.io/) is a "Swiss Army knife" for emerging VCs, angels, FOs, and established VCs. Investors can use it to source deals, provide a smart landing page that offers analytics on startup fundability (rather than a a static Typeform page), have a standardized framework for all startup due diligence, communicate with founders, manage portfolios, track & store documents, and more. And that's just on the "investor" side of Cinch. (The "founder" side offers a whole separate productivity suite to make startup fundraising and investor management seamless.) It basically takes the core functions of Crunchbase, Docsend, Airtable, Carta, Slack, Box & Notion; filters them all through a layer of data analytics to give objective feedback on specific metrics relating to startup strengths and weaknesses; and packages them in a single, easy-to-use platform, so investors can conceivably do all of their due diligence, investing, and deal management on a single a single platform.
