Folk Review

Folk is the modern CRM that feels like a spreadsheet but works like magic. Designed for relationship-driven teams—VCs, recruiters, agencies, founders, and sales teams—Folk makes managing contacts and pipelines delightfully simple while remaining incredibly powerful. Unlike bloated enterprise CRMs, Folk focuses on what matters: your relationships. Import contacts from anywhere—LinkedIn, email, Twitter, events—with a single click using the folkX Chrome extension. Folk automatically enriches contacts with company data, social profiles, and email addresses, saving hours of manual data entry. The platform's spreadsheet-like interface is instantly familiar. Create custom pipelines for deals, candidates, investors, or any workflow. Use magic columns to auto-populate data, and send personalized bulk emails with mail merge directly from Folk. Variables, follow-up sequences, and tracking are built in. Folk's AI assistant helps draft emails, suggest next actions, and surface insights about your relationships. The activity timeline shows every interaction—emails, meetings, notes—in one chronological view. Integrations sync with Gmail, Outlook, Calendly, Notion, Slack, and 2,000+ apps via Zapier. Folk is trusted by top VC firms, Y Combinator startups, and agencies worldwide. Pricing starts free for individuals, with team plans from $25/user/month.
