Build an outreach list that fits your company
Use the Hardware label as a starting point. Review recent portfolio companies, identify the partner who covers your business model, and check whether your product and customer segment match the firm’s actual thesis.
- 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.
How these guides are compiled. Directory labels may include source-list classifications. Confirm current activity and investment preferences directly with the firm.
