Investor outreach

Draft cold emails, warm intro blurbs, follow-ups, update emails, and investor communications for fundraising. Use when the user wants outreach to angels, VCs, strategic investors, or accelerators and needs concise, personalized, investor-facing messaging.

# Investor Outreach

Write investor communication that is short, concrete, and easy to act on.

When to Activate

  • writing a cold email to an investor
  • drafting a warm intro request
  • sending follow-ups after a meeting or no response
  • writing investor updates during a process
  • tailoring outreach based on fund thesis or partner fit

Core Rules

  1. Personalize every outbound message.
  2. Keep the ask low-friction.
  3. Use proof instead of adjectives.
  4. Stay concise.
  5. Never send copy that could go to any investor.

Voice Handling

If the user's voice matters, run `brand-voice` first and reuse its `VOICE PROFILE`. This skill should keep the investor-specific structure and ask discipline, not recreate its own parallel voice system.

Hard Bans

Delete and rewrite any of these: - "I'd love to connect" - "excited to share" - generic thesis praise without a real tie-in - vague founder adjectives - begging language - soft closing questions when a direct ask is clearer

Cold Email Structure

  1. subject line: short and specific
  2. opener: why this investor specifically
  3. pitch: what the company does, why now, and what proof matters
  4. ask: one concrete next step
  5. sign-off: name, role, and one credibility anchor if needed

Personalization Sources

Reference one or more of: - relevant portfolio companies - a public thesis, talk, post, or article - a mutual connection - a clear market or product fit with the investor's focus

If that context is missing, state that the draft still needs personalization instead of pretending it is finished.

Follow-Up Cadence

Default: - day 0: initial outbound - day 4 or 5: short follow-up with one new data point - day 10 to 12: final follow-up with a clean close

Do not keep nudging after that unless the user wants a longer sequence.

Warm Intro Requests

Make life easy for the connector: - explain why the intro is a fit - include a forwardable blurb - keep the forwardable blurb under 100 words

Post-Meeting Updates

Include: - the specific thing discussed - the answer or update promised - one new proof point if available - the next step

Quality Gate

Before delivering: - the message is genuinely personalized - the ask is explicit - the proof point is concrete - filler praise and softener language are gone - word count stays tight
