## Prompt

```text
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].
