Warm introductions to investors from your own network

“Who in my network can introduce me to the investors I want to meet?”

The short answer

Cold emails to investors rarely work; introductions from someone they trust do. We map who in your address book has worked with, invested alongside or sat on a board with your target investors, and rank the introductions by how close you are to the introducer.

Who it’s for

Founders and CEOs preparing a round, and executives raising a fund.

What we look for in your network

  • Contacts who worked at, or with, your target funds
  • Co-board members and co-investors of the partners you want to meet
  • How close you really are to each possible introducer
  • Who is active today, and who has moved on
  • Founders in your book backed by the same investors

An extract of what comes back

Antoine Mercier Operating Partner, Lumen Capital

+ 48 more people who can introduce you in the full document, each with its reason

Fictional people and companies. The level of detail is real.

What you receive

For each target investor, the two or three best introducers in your network, why they can do it, and how close you are to them.

It starts with your network rebuilt in ten working days: careers dated, where you know each person from, how close you were, who can reintroduce you. Delivered in person, as a workbook you can filter, a searchable page and a clean address book for your iPhone.

An NDA before any file is shared. To find someone, only a name and a company leave your address book.

You choose who stays out of the search.

Professional facts only: nothing on wealth, health, religion or legal matters.

Everything deleted at the end, with a dated certificate.

Questions

Do you contact investors for me?
No. You make the ask; we tell you who to ask and why they are credible.
Do you need my deck or financials?
No. We work on your address book and LinkedIn archive only.
Is my list of target investors kept?
No. It is covered by the NDA and deleted with the rest at the end.
