Notion is the simplest place for a VC firm to begin: deal pipeline, portfolio tracking, DD data rooms, and the firm wiki all sit on one flexible surface of databases, docs, and AI agents. Recent launches add Notion Mail, Notion Calendar, and Notion Meetings, an AI meeting note-taker in the Granola style. For heavyweight enterprise CRM and LP automation, firms eventually graduate to dedicated tools.
