Tired of sending 200+ cold emails to VCs and hearing nothing back? You’re not alone. Most founders waste weeks doing this, getting zero replies. Here’s the truth: You don’t need “connections” to raise. You need a repeatable process that works. Toby Egbuna shared a brilliant way to engineer warm intros from scratch: 1️⃣ 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) 2️⃣ Do your homework Use Crunchbase to search each fund Write down the founders of their 3 latest portfolio companies 3️⃣ Reach out smartly Connect with these founders first No pitch. No ask. Just curiosity. Message template: "Hey [name], I’m the founder of [your company]. Saw [fund] invested in you. Would love to hear how it’s been working with them. Open to a quick 15-min chat?" 4️⃣ Have real conversations Ask thoughtful questions about their journey Learn how that fund actually supports founders 5️⃣ 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 (who’ve been there) 💡 Great fundraisers don’t “spray and pray.” They build a system.

Unpopular Opinion: If you have zero traction, don’t pitch VCs yet. You know what I see too often? Founders sending decks before they’ve even tested the idea. Here’s the blunt truth: 💡 VCs don’t fund ideas. They fund signals. And “signal” doesn’t

11 investor replies - 1 cold email. No pedigree. No warm intros. Just a deep understanding of a boring industry. We rewrote her pitch into 5 raw lines: a. Big problem b. Her unique insight c. What she’d done so far d. What she was raising for e. A

Founders, don’t send your deck first. I’ve helped founders raise crores. The most painful mistake? Sending the deck too early. A deck is NOT an invitation. It’s a confirmation. > Investors don’t open cold PDFs. They open conversations. Instead:

right now you guys as founders who wants to raise money from VCs either apply through cold email or their Google forms which maximum times go unheard if there is a way through which you can get more direct reach to VC and also understand why were you
