Pre raise warmth for founders

Founders who run this play open the round warm. Target investors see them under three to five thoughtful comments before any pitch email lands.

Last updated 2026-04-24

Goal
Be familiar in the feeds of target investors weeks before the pitch.
Measure
First meeting response rate and speed to first call.

Steps

  1. 1
    Pick twenty investors

    Drop the LinkedIn URLs of the investors you plan to pitch into a Creator workspace.

  2. 2
    Set a Thought Leader tone

    Your replies carry a view, not a compliment. Investors read replies before profiles.

  3. 3
    Clear the queue every morning

    Ten minutes before your first call. Post, edit, or skip each card.

  4. 4
    Open the round warm

    After four weeks, send the first email. The name is already familiar.
