Following up: [[your company]], [[category]]

Hi {{first_name}},

I'm raising a small angel round for [[your company]] and your experience in [[their area of expertise or industry]] is why I wanted you on the cap table specifically.

[[Your company]] is [[one sentence on what the business does]]. We're at [[early traction]] and raising [[amount]] from [[number]] angels to [[use of funds]].

Your operational expertise in [[their specific background]] would be as valuable as the capital. Would 20 minutes work?

Hi {{first_name}},

[[Your company]] helps [[target customer]] [[what you do for them]].

The numbers: [[key metric 1, e.g., "$80K ARR"]]. [[Key metric 2, e.g., "40% month-over-month growth"]]. [[Key metric 3, e.g., "12 paying customers, 3 enterprise pilots"]].

We're raising [[round size]] at [[terms if sharing]]. Deck here: [[link]].

Worth a conversation?

Hi {{first_name}},

[[Mutual connection name]] suggested I reach out about [[your company]]. We're a [[one sentence description]] at [[traction metric]], raising [[round size]].

[[Mutual connection]]'s view was that [[brief reason for the intro: e.g., "this fits your thesis on developer tools" or "the B2B go-to-market is similar to several of your portfolio companies"]].

Would a 30-minute call work this week? Deck is attached.
