Fundraising
Build an investor target list and find warm intros through your team, advisors, and existing investors.
Investors take meetings from founders they're introduced to. Icebreaker finds which investors your team, advisors, and current backers already know, and who should make the intro.
You'll need: a connected agent and a synced network. Lists, monitors, intro paths, and feedback need Starter or higher.
1. Bring in your extended network
Your advisors' and investors' networks are where the warm paths are. Ask them to share their connections:
- Send them the template in How to export your LinkedIn data.
- Or queue syncs for them yourself. See Queue syncs from a list.
2. Build your target list
Ask your agent"Find partners at seed and Series A funds in our network who invest in fintech. Save them to a team list called Seed Targets."
3. Find the best intro for each investor
Ask your agent"For each investor on Seed Targets, who's the strongest connector on our team or among our advisors?"
4. Ask who knows them best
Add Feedback to the list with "Do you know this person well?" and share it with your advisors and existing investors. Their Yes answers tell you who to ask for each intro.
5. Time your outreach
Add a monitor to Seed Targets with the filter New investments. You'll see who's actively writing checks.
More ideas
- Prep for the meeting. Ask "What mutuals do I share with [investor]?" before each pitch.
- Track the round. Keep Seed Targets as your pipeline, and remove investors as they pass.
