This startup wanted to speak to coffee-related angel investors in one region. Super niche. Tough to find contacts. In fact, we found <900 investors. That means we can't afford to burn the list all at once. A bad outreach campaign will slow down fundraising dramatically. So what did we do? We used a portion of the list to test multiple different angles of pitching the startup. And with the winning angle, we got a 63.16% meeting booked rate. 12 investor meetings from this campaign. ~30 meetings booked in just under 30 days total.

3 non-obvious lessons I’ve learned as a founder after being a VC for the last 3 years: 1. When you’re pitching to a VC, your main competitors are always invisible to you. They are the other startups in that VC's pipeline at the time. This is frequently the most critical factor that determines your fundraising success. 2. Yes, it’s true—VCs love it when you don’t seem to need them, so use that to your advantage - it’s simple (and not). 3. The majority of VCs are a total mess internally, so don’t take it too seriously if they don’t respond to you quickly - it's likely that they just forgot about it 🤷♀️ - so consistency is always the key.

Dont't pitch your startup!!! ...before thinking about this As you should know your ideal client, you must know your ideal investors, this are 5 questions you must ask yourself and your team before pitching your project. 1 - Why are you raising found? 2 - What do you expect from your future investor? 3 - What red flag behaviors should you watch for in prospective investors? 4 - Are you coachable? (You and your team) 5 - How much control are you wiling to give up ?

Difference between VC-backed/bootstrapped startups is the conservation of founder energy. Chasing VC depletes. Building Community & sharing upside with everyone who helps you build & grow replenishes. Audience=>Community=>Earn-gated Collaboration=> MVP =>Cashflow=>Community VC.
