Research Investor Portfolio Fit

Sending a cold email to a VC who has never touched your category is a waste of everyone's time. The best fundraising outreach targets investors where there is a clear thesis fit — they have backed similar companies, their stated focus matches your sector, and their current portfolio does not include a direct competitor.

The build_outreach_list skill surfaces investors filtered by stage and sector, giving you a starting point for portfolio analysis. You can identify the investors who have already demonstrated conviction in your space and prioritise them for warm outreach through shared connections.

Founders doing pre-fundraise research, advisors helping portfolio companies prepare for their next round, and accelerators building investor relationships all use this to move from a long list of possible investors to a short list of probable fits.
