I've raised $20M for my startups by just emailing

Fundraising is hard but with the right system, anyone can raise

Here's my step by step process

1. Find Interested Investors

Let's say you're building an automation tool

Go to Crunchbase and look up every NON-DIRECT competitor startup in a related sector (No-Code SaaS in this case)

List down ALL companies and ALL their investors

Go to the Investor Funds' website to find their email

OR

b) Use VoilaNorbert. com or apollo .io

Put the first + last name + Company URL, and it will try a bunch of email permutations and predict the correct one with a 98% success rate.

Create a list of 200-300 investors

Research

1) Which stage they like to invest in,
2) How much money do they typically deploy, and
3) Which person from their investment team led the investment in another startup in the related space

Unpopular advice -

Rank investors by how willing you are to lose them

Start with those first, get their feedback, keep improving your pitch and then work upwards.
