-- This process is all about connections, it’s all about your network. It’s NOT cold selling.

So here’s a little summary showing how to approach this.

People you know. People you know. Friends of your investors Conferences and events. Submit a deck form. Twitter. Cold emailing.

As you can see, cold emailing investors is an absolute, absolute last resort. I get so many founders frustrated by how their cold emails are not working, and the truth is, they won’t work.

Raising money from investors you cold emailed is extremely unlikely. Not impossible, though, and I know a tip or two. But we’ll get there.
