7 ways cold investor outreach beats warm intros
While warm introductions are often recommended for connecting with investors, they have their limits. Cold outreach, though overlooked, offers several compelling benefits:
1. Unlimited Opportunities: Warm intros can run out, but the world of potential investors is vast. With persistent and systematic outreach, you can connect with numerous investors.
2. Independence: Cold outreach ensures you're not waiting on others. You take the initiative and drive your own destiny.
3. Systematic Approach: Cold outreach can be organized and delegated. With a process in place, your team can handle outreach, allowing you to focus on presenting your vision.
4. Direct Relationships: Cold outreach connections are direct. There's no third party expecting updates or involvement in your investment relationship.
5. No Obligations: You don't owe favors or navigate awkward dynamics. You approach directly, free of interpersonal debts.
6. Control and Iteration: Cold outreach can be refined over time. Adjusting strategies and messages can enhance results.
7. Scalability: If you wish to expand outreach, you can ramp up efforts, reaching even more potential investors.
