How to Get a Warm Intro to a Seed VC

Find the right seed partner, summarize your round, and give a connector a concise note that makes the fit obvious.

A practical answer

What to know

Seed funds receive many requests, so a warm introduction should be specific and easy to route. Identify the partner who covers your sector, explain the round you are raising, and give the connector a concise note that makes the fit obvious. The connector should not have to write your pitch for you.

A thoughtful next step

Try this

  1. Identify the partner or thesis that matches your company.

  2. Summarize the round size, stage, and traction in two sentences.

  3. Provide a forwardable note and ask the connector to send it only if they are comfortable.
