The Warm Intro Raise Kit
For pre-seed founders raising from angels through warm intros and LinkedIn.
Most angels take a first meeting because someone they trust asked them to. This kit is about making that ask easy to say yes to.
$29 launch price through Nov 16, then $39.
30-day refund. You can request your money back within 30 days of purchase.
What’s inside
- A 19-page illustrated playbook: build your list, map who can introduce you, run the double opt-in intro, write the forwardable blurb, run the first meeting, follow up without being annoying, and an 8-week raise schedule.
- An investor tracker (Excel, imports to Google Sheets): stages, a 1-to-27 priority score, stale and overdue flags, a connector list, a touch log and a dashboard.
- 28 message templates: connector asks, forwardable blurbs, intro replies, thank-yous, three follow-ups, monthly updates and LinkedIn notes.
- 12 AI prompts for faster drafts that still sound like you, including a “de-AI” edit pass.
Who it’s for
Pre-seed founders raising roughly $250K to $2MM from angels.
Who it’s not for
Founders raising from institutional funds only, or anyone looking for legal documents. There are no term sheets or securities documents in this kit.
