Your raise doesn't happen
only in your inbox
Streak turns Gmail into a sales pipeline, and it does that well. But fundraising is not a sales pipeline that lives in email. It is a hallway intro at a demo day, a text from an angel, a coffee that went long. If the conversation never touched your inbox, a Gmail CRM never sees it.
Free plan includes 50 contacts. No credit card required.
A sales tool at sales-team prices
Streak's positioning is managing sales and customer relationships directly inside Gmail, and for teams running shared pipelines on Google Workspace it is a strong product. The friction for a solo founder is twofold. First, price: Streak's free tier now covers email power tools like tracking and mail merge, while full CRM pipelines start at roughly $49 per user per month, sales-team pricing for a one-person raise. Second, capture: Streak organizes email threads into boxes, but investor conversations that happen in person, over text, or through a warm intro have no thread to attach to. Savvo starts from the note instead: type what you remember from any conversation, wherever it happened, and AI structures it.
| What matters in a raise | Streak | Savvo |
|---|---|---|
| Where it lives | Inside Gmail, as a browser extension and sidebar | Standalone web app, installable on your phone's home screen |
| Data entry after each pitch | Attach email threads to pipeline boxes, update stage fields | Type one messy sentence. AI extracts name, firm, role, and next step |
| Meetings that happen off email | Manual entry, no thread to anchor them to | Same natural-language capture; calendar sync also detects 1:1 meetings |
| Follow-up reminders | Tasks and snoozed threads you set per box | Daily digest email plus cadences: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom per contact |
| Relationship health | Pipeline stages you move manually | Automatic color-coded health scores, green to red, based on real activity |
| Search | Gmail search plus pipeline filters | Semantic search across your whole network: "which angels liked the product?" |
| Price for one founder | Free email tools; full CRM pipelines from around $49/user/month | Free for 50 contacts; Pro $8/month or $75/year |
| Learning curve | Moderate: pipelines, boxes, stages, and magic columns | Minimal: type notes, read the morning digest |

When Streak is the better choice
Streak earns its place in plenty of stacks. Choose it if these fit you.
You live in Gmail
If every investor conversation genuinely runs through email and you never want to open another tab, a pipeline inside the inbox is hard to beat. That is Streak's whole thesis, and it delivers on it.
Your team runs shared pipelines
Streak is built for teams on Google Workspace sharing pipelines, with roles and permissions. Savvo is built for an individual today; its team plan is still coming.
You need heavy email outreach
Mail merge, email tracking, and snippets are core Streak features. If your raise involves high-volume cold outreach from Gmail, Streak's email tooling is genuinely stronger.
Email threads are your source of truth
Streak attaches CRM data directly to threads, so the full correspondence history lives with each deal. If that anchoring matters more to you than off-email capture, pick Streak.
For a solo founder, the honest math is simpler: most raises are one person tracking 40 to 80 investor conversations across email, events, and intros. That is a relationship problem, not an inbox problem.
Common questions
Can I move my Streak pipeline into Savvo?
Yes. Export your Streak pipeline to a CSV (or via Google Sheets), then upload it to Savvo. Column mapping handles names, firms, emails, and notes, duplicates are skipped automatically, and every contact gets a health score on import. CSV import is a Pro feature ($8/month).
Does Savvo integrate with Gmail?
Partly, and it is worth being precise: Savvo imports Google Contacts and syncs with Google Calendar to detect 1:1 meetings, but it does not live inside your inbox or track email opens the way Streak does. If in-inbox email tooling is your top requirement, Streak is the better fit.
Isn't Streak's free plan enough for a raise?
Streak's free tier currently covers email power tools like tracking, snippets, and limited mail merge rather than full CRM pipelines, which sit in the paid plans. Savvo's free plan includes actual investor tracking: 50 contacts, natural-language capture, health scores, and weekly digest emails.
