How to Write a Pre-Seed Cold Email That Gets a Reply

from The Pre-Seed Podcast with Fexingo: Idea-Stage Founders, First Checks, and Earliest Funding · host Fexingo

Most cold emails from pre-seed founders land unread. Lucas and Luna break down what actually works when you're sending outreach to angel investors who don't know you exist. They walk through a specific cold email that got a $25,000 check without a warm intro — the subject line, the opening sentence, the ask, and why the founder included a one-sentence customer story instead of a deck link. They also discuss the data behind the 'familiarity gap' in early-stage fundraising and why a founder's second cold email often outperforms the first by 40 percent. This episode skips generic advice like 'personalize your email' and instead gives listeners a three-sentence template they can adapt for their own outreach. #ColdEmail #AngelInvesting #PreSeedFunding #FounderOutreach #InvestorRelations #StartupFundraising #EmailTemplates #EarlyStage #Business #VentureCapital #IdeaStage #FundraisingStrategy #NoWarmIntro #SubjectLine #FounderTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ThePreSeedPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
