Add the objects you actually track. Name the stages your work actually has. Reshape the model by asking. Revenue is one shape among many, never the only one.
Most CRMs are a sales funnel wearing a costume. They assume companies, deals, and stages marching toward a close, and the moment your work does not look like that, you are bending reality to fit their schema. An investor is not a lead. A partner is not a deal. The backbone should take the shape of your relationships, not flatten them into a sale.
Investors, partners, advisors, clients, community. Add the objects your relationships are made of, with the fields that matter to you. Just describe them.
Rename, reorder, and add the stages your relationships really move through, or drop stages entirely for the ties you simply keep warm. The logic follows the meaning you assign.
When the way you work evolves, you do not re-buy the CRM or hire a consultant. You tell your agent what changed and the schema bends to match, that day. Admins stay in control of the shape.
