Tired of sending 200+ cold emails to VCs and hearing nothing back? Youโre not alone. Most founders waste weeks doing this, getting zero replies. Hereโs the truth: You donโt need โconnectionsโ to raise. You need a repeatable process that works. Toby Egbuna shared a brilliant way to engineer warm intros from scratch: 1๏ธโฃ Start broad, then focus Build a list of 300+ VCs Narrow it down to your top 30 (look at thesis, brand, relevant deals, shared connections) 2๏ธโฃ Do your homework Use Crunchbase to search each fund Write down the founders of their 3 latest portfolio companies 3๏ธโฃ Reach out smartly Connect with these founders first No pitch. No ask. Just curiosity. Message template: "Hey [name], Iโm the founder of [your company]. Saw [fund] invested in you. Would love to hear how itโs been working with them. Open to a quick 15-min chat?" 4๏ธโฃ Have real conversations Ask thoughtful questions about their journey Learn how that fund actually supports founders 5๏ธโฃ Ask for the intro If it goes well: "Would you be open to introducing me to the partner you worked with?" Why this wins: Higher success rate than cold outreach Real intel on funds before you pitch Relationships with fellow founders (whoโve been there) ๐ก Great fundraisers donโt โspray and pray.โ They build a system.
