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
