Bird dog vs. Subscription Service vs. DIY Research

Investors: Do you do the research yourself? Do you hire an assistant or bird dog? Or do you pay for a subscription service?

Bird dogs: Do you keep track of your research in a simple old-school spreadsheet, or do you like nicer software? 

What are your preferences and why? 

I'd appreciate any answers/advice!

I'm asking because I want to know what works best for finding leads, as someone who wants to bird-dog for investors.

    I do have assistants - best use of my time & ROI. Takes a second to get them to understand what you want, your style, your criteria, etc., but once you're there, it's amazing. I like researching, but it's not the best use of my time, especially at scale.

    For different aspects I use different tools, but a simple spreadsheet will do, or another CRM tool to integrate if you have large email campaigns.
