How to Get a Warm Intro to an Angel Investor

Ask for an angel investor introduction with a clear company summary, a specific reason for the conversation, and a note the connector can forward.

A practical answer

What to know

An angel investor introduction works best when the connector can explain why this investor fits your company and stage. Give them a one-line description of the business, the specific reason for the conversation, and a short note they can forward. A mutual connection is a starting point, not proof that the investor is interested.

A thoughtful next step

Try this

  1. Name the investor and the specific reason they fit your company.

  2. Write a one-sentence company description and the ask: advice, a check, or a conversation.

  3. Offer a forwardable note and let the connector decide whether to send it.
