Could you introduce me?
Hi {{first_name}}, I hope things are well. I'm raising a seed round for my startup, and I noticed you're connected with a partner at a fund that backs construction software, which is exactly our space. Would you be comfortable introducing us? If so, here's a short blurb you can forward: "A former colleague is building a phone app that replaces paper daily reports on construction sites. They're raising a seed round and would value your view." And if it's not a good fit for you, no problem at all. {{sender_first_name}}
{{first_name}} and similar are filled from each lead; after a “|” is the text used when the field is empty. Written for a founder asking a former colleague to introduce them to an investor.
When to use it
When someone you know has a real relationship with an investor you'd like to meet. This is a personal email, not a campaign.
Why it works
- A forwardable blurb makes the favour take a minute, not twenty.
- Asking whether they're comfortable gives them an easy way to decline.
- It's specific about which investor and why.
How to adapt it
- Write the blurb in the third person so they can forward it unchanged.
- Send it one to one, from your own inbox, to people who know you.
