Build an outreach list that fits your company
Confirm how the firm defines Grant and what traction, round size, and ownership it expects. Labels vary, so discuss the specific funding requirement rather than relying only on a stage tag.
- Check the mandate. Confirm sector, stage, geography, check size, and whether the firm leads or follows rounds.
- Find the relevant partner. Read current team profiles and recent investments before asking for an introduction.
- Make the fit specific. Explain your product, customer evidence, round size, and why this firm is a match.
- Use the correct submission route. A general office contact may not accept investment pitches. Look for a current pitch form or a partner’s published instructions.
