For angel-investors
A personal CRM for angel investors — you write checks as a person, not a pipeline.
Five to fifteen checks a year don't justify fund-grade tooling — but they absolutely justify remembering everything. Endearist keeps your founders, co-angels, and the operators who'll start companies in three years: local, lifetime, €69 once.
The operators who'll found in three years
Angel returns are mostly access, and access is mostly time-in-relationship. The staff engineer who keeps fixing what others ship, the senior PM who talks about a problem like she owns it — those are your 2029 checks, today. Endearist lets you tag them, note why they impressed you, and hold a gentle quarterly cadence. When they finally incorporate, you're not in the cold-intro pile; you're already on the cap-table shortlist.
Affinity is for funds. You're a person.
Fund CRMs start at hundreds of euros per seat per month and assume a team, a pipeline, and an ops person. You have a Sunday afternoon and forty relationships that matter. Endearist costs €69 once — lifetime — and is built for exactly your scale: every founder, every note, every reminder on your own laptop. The three-year cost comparison against fund tooling isn't a comparison; it's a rounding error in your smallest check.
Pass with warmth — your reputation is the deal flow
As an angel you have no brand, no fund letterhead, no platform team. Your entire deal flow is how founders describe you to other founders. Endearist's journal keeps every pass honest and warm: why you said no, what would change it, when to check back in. The follow-up six months later — "did the usage-based pricing experiment work?" — costs you two minutes and builds the reputation that quietly fills your inbox.
Your syndicate is a relationship graph
The angels you co-invest with decide which allocations you ever get to see. Who shared their allocation in the hot round, who brought you into the deal that made your year, whose diligence you trust on infrastructure — that's a graph worth maintaining deliberately. Track your co-angels in Endearist with the same care as founders: a cadence for the ones you want more deals from, journal entries for who owes whom an allocation.
Founders confide in angels first — keep it that way
Before a founder tells their VC anything difficult, they test it on an angel: the runway is shorter than the update says, the CTO might leave, the pivot is only half-decided. That candor is your edge and their trust. Endearist is local-first — those notes live on your device, not in a SaaS database — so the most honest conversations in your portfolio stay exactly between the two people who had them.
