Build an outreach list that fits your company
Explain the problem, founder advantage, early customer evidence, and the next milestone this capital unlocks. Ask whether the investor backs companies before repeatable revenue.
For Canada, confirm location eligibility before preparing a full pitch: where must the company be incorporated, where should the team operate, and does the investor back companies expanding into the market? A local office alone does not answer those questions.
- 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.
