Placement Agents - what tools do you use for tracking fundraise/project management?

I recently joined a boutique placement agent, really enjoying the work so far.

Curious to hear how others in the space track workflow and LP conversations during a fundraise?

Our team uses Excel to track estimated bite sizes and secured commitments, and AirTable to track next steps / general LP conversation history. We also use DealCloud to track conversation history. The Excel tracker is the only thing we show to the GP.

Wondering if there is a better system that other folks use?
