Take on Attio

Attio is what every Notion-power-user wanted CRM to be: flexible objects, real relationships, fast UI. The constraint is that you'll spend a week configuring it before it earns its keep — pre-built sales process templates are sparse. If you have a non-standard motion (community-led, PLG, fund), Attio is the obvious pick.
