Case Study: Building Ventures turns 8,000 companies into 5 investments with Affinity

How Building Ventures turns 8,000 companies into 5 investments with Affinity

Building Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm focused on construction and real estate technology, needed a better way to manage a huge volume of opportunities and relationships with a lean six-person team. Monitoring more than 8,000 companies created a lot of manual work, inconsistent note-taking, and difficulty keeping deal information organized across the firm. To solve this, the company turned to Affinity and its CRM, including tools like Deal Assist and Notetaker.

With Affinity, Building Ventures automated meeting notes, standardized records, and used AI to quickly search notes and decks for answers and reporting. The firm also used Affinity Analytics to track pipeline and industry trends more efficiently. As a result, Building Ventures now turns 8,000 monitored companies into about 4-5 investments per year, while saving time for higher-value work like relationship building with founders, LPs, and its broader network.
