About folk

folk is a lightweight CRM for small teams that manage lots of relationships: agencies, founders, recruiters, investors and partnership teams. It pulls people in from email, calendars and LinkedIn through a Chrome extension, enriches profiles with emails and company data, and organises them into groups with pipelines, custom views and AI-filled fields. It also sends email campaigns and, on higher tiers, sequences. The appeal is a spreadsheet-like interface that takes minutes to learn rather than days. It is lighter than a traditional sales CRM, so reporting, forecasting and permissions are basic, and custom objects, dashboards and API access require the Premium tier. Pricing is per member per month on Standard, Premium and Enterprise plans, with a free trial; the pricing page lists no free plan. It runs in the browser, with a Chrome extension, a desktop app and mobile apps. It suits small teams that want to keep track of who they know without the weight of a full sales CRM.

Best for: Founders, agencies and small teams managing networks and partnerships.
