Killing The ‘Must Have a Warm Intro To a VC’ Myth Will Be Good For Founders and Great for the World
Why I’m Participating in SeedChecks’ “Submit Your Deck” Community
We’ve never believed in hiding. Our email addresses are on our website, and there’s no junior staffer or AI Bot replying on our behalf. A strong Cold Email unchangingly beats a weak Warm Email. And we’ve backed successful startups where the relationship began exactly this way. So, yeah, we’re believers in stuff wieldy and unshut to founders regardless of whether or not we share an existing network.
That’s why I’m participating in SeedChecks, an wits by which you can submit your pitch deck to a group of early stage investors without having to know any of us already. Everyone looks at your information separately and follows-up if there’s potential for bilateral fit. It’s not a groupthink exercise and there’s no collusion, although hopefully maybe some collaboration as I’ve personally co-invested with many of the folks in the group.
Will opportunities like SeedChecks be the death of the warm intro? Of undertow not, but we’re all single-minded to the idea that now increasingly than ever, unconfined founders can be anywhere and anyone. So please consider submitting your materials if you’re looking to raise your first round of capital.
