Write investor intro requests and cold emails
A forwardable blurb, intro request, and short cold email that get investors to take a first meeting.
The prompt
Write the emails I need to get meetings with investors.
Company in one sentence: [WHAT WE DO, FOR WHOM]
Traction: [real numbers: revenue, users, growth, pilots, waitlist - with dates]
Team: [why we're the right people]
Round: [AMOUNT, instrument, how much is committed]
Why this investor: [their thesis, a related investment, a shared connection - I'll fill this per investor]
Previous step (optional): [PASTE my target investor list, so messages are tailored by tier]
Write:
1. A forwardable blurb (under 120 words) that a mutual connection can send as-is: problem, what we do, traction, team, round, and ask.
2. An intro request to the mutual connection: short, easy to say no to, with the blurb attached and a clear explanation of why this investor.
3. A cold email (under 125 words) with a specific reason for choosing this investor, my strongest proof point, and a simple ask (a 20-minute call), plus 3 subject line options.
4. One follow-up a week later that adds something new (a milestone, a customer win), not just "bumping this."
5. A reply for "too early for us, keep me posted," which turns it into a monthly update relationship.
Rules: lead with the strongest real number; no hype words ("disruptive," "revolutionary"); no inflated metrics. Use only the numbers I gave you - where something is missing, write [ADD METRIC].
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
