Ben Lang Great list!, now do one for investors 😆
Thanks Ben Lang! Adding some 🇫🇷 suggestions: - CRM: folk - Sales enrichment: FullEnrich - AI powered sales: Topo (YC W24), Leadbay - AI/LLM: Mistral AI

4moGreat post, but I'd change to Loops for email marketing. Most marketers are also using Webflow (but i've heard framer is also good). And in terms of CRM, we use Attio and I've heard folk is also good.
