Questions

A mentor of mine is connected with a well known investor that I'm interested in working with and I want to get a warm introduction established through Linkedin introductions. What will the investor be looking for from the introduction to a seed stage company?

If its weak or just unprofessional, they are not going to “Accept your Invitation to Connect” - Yes, an investor can look at your profile without “accepting your invitation”. If you can get an introduction through a mutual contact it can catapult your “accept invitation rate”. The better the mutual connection the better the chance of a “warm to hot” introduction. If you do not have a mutual connection, follow a potential investor’s company page. Join any relevant LinkedIn groups to which your target belongs. Then, write a custom invitation to connect email. Keep the invitation to connect short and to the point. At this point, the investor may respond or do nothing. Remember the investor has a limited amount of money to spend on a limited number of companies. Start sending updates to investors with specific metrics or milestones. Start your investor outreach campaign like a Sales & Marketing Process - run it wisely, create a great profile, try to improve on your connection rate, your teaser response rate and email open rates, A/B test all your text.
