How to Find Investors for Your Startup

Here’s a simple step-by-step process founders use to get funded:

1. Define Your Funding Needs

How much do you need to raise? Are you targeting angels, pre-seed funds, family offices, or larger VCs?

2. Leverage Networks (or Skip Them)

Warm intros help, but cold outreach works if it’s targeted and thoughtful. Use Twitter/X, LinkedIn, or warm referrals from founders in your network.

3. Use Curated Investor Lists

Tap into high-quality databases organized by region, stage, or sector. Skip the random Google Sheets. Use the tools that work.

4. Research Investor Profiles

Look into past investments, thesis areas, and geographic focus. Personalize your outreach based on what you find.

5. Make a Great First Impression

Your deck should sell the problem and insight—not just the product. Investors invest in clarity.
