Looking for recommendations on SaaS or other tools to manage a growing library of knowledge (value chains, company IDs, market sizing, etc.) and documents (pdf, ppt, xlsx) generated from the search process.
Google docs? Airtable? Box? getguru.com? What do you all use?

If collaboration is critical, I don't think you can beat Google Drive for working with other people on the same document. Personally, I prefer to use Dropbox combined with MS Office for all my documents and Apple Notes for text-based notes that I'm not sharing with others. Dropbox works well for me because it appears just like a regular folder in my computer, sharing is straightforward, and it's way easier to manage PDFs than with Google Drive. I use Google Drive for my startup, but I almost never store PDFs on it.
If you're using a Chromebook, however, Google Drive might be a better option because it's supposedly well-integrated.
