Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Investor Finder tool:
- Describe your company stage, sector, and fundraising target
- Ask: "Use investor-finder to find VCs investing in [sector] at [stage]"
- ChatGPT returns a matching investor list
- Request: "Rank these by portfolio fit for my company and produce a tiered outreach plan"
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Investor Finder tool
My company is a seed-stage AI-powered legal tech platform targeting SMBs in the UK. Use investor-finder to find investors in legal tech, B2B SaaS, and AI at seed stage. Rank them by thesis fit and produce a tiered outreach plan: Tier 1 for warm outreach, Tier 2 for targeted cold, Tier 3 to watch.
Tips
- Ask for a tiered output so you can sequence outreach rather than approaching everyone simultaneously
- Ask ChatGPT to write a one-line personalisation hook for each Tier 1 investor based on their apparent thesis
- Request reasoning for each tier ranking so you can explain the prioritisation to your co-founder or advisor
