Hey all,
My cofounder and I made some serious milestones in the past few days. We are looking to kick off our seed stage in a few days (waiting for website to finish up). What are best ways to get warm connections to investors? I have been going to networking events in NYC every week and haven’t really met any investors. We are a media company that leverages AI. TIA.
Warm intros are usually through existing contacts.
As I’m sure you know, there are thousands of AI start-ups, so raising capital might take a lot of effort. Good luck.
Go deep deep deep through your contacts but hard to have warm intros unless you really know people or are living and breathing that SF life.
Here’s a list of 3000+ vcs that might be useful - https://cookiecrumblemedia.com/massive-list-3000-early-stage-vcs-investors/
Thank you for sharing the link. I’m based in NYC and generally do finance stuff so I wouldn’t be exposed to those the do VC as much.
