How Pre-Seed Founders Can Use Cold Outreach for Investor Meetings
from The Pre-Seed Podcast with Fexingo: Idea-Stage Founders, First Checks, and Earliest Funding · host Fexingo
In this episode of The Pre-Seed Podcast, Lucas and Luna break down the cold outreach strategies that early-stage founders can use to land investor meetings without warm intros. They walk through a concrete case: a fintech founder who sent 200 cold LinkedIn messages to prospective angel investors, tracked response rates by industry vertical, and refined her pitch based on feedback — all before building her product. The hosts discuss the data on cold email open rates for investors, the difference between targeting angel investors versus micro-VCs, and the specific subject lines and message lengths that performed best. They also cover follow-up cadences and how to handle rejection gracefully. If you are an idea-stage founder with no network, this episode gives you a repeatable process for getting in front of investors who are open to cold approaches. #ColdOutreach #InvestorMeeting #PreSeed #IdeaStage #Founder #ColdEmail #LinkedIn #AngelInvestor #MicroVC #PitchDeck #Fundraising #NoNetwork #OutboundSales #Business #Technology #Startup #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
