Minimum viable data room
Pitch deck (10–15 slides), one-pager, financial model summary, cap table, and incorporation docs. You don't need everything perfect—但 you need enough that a interested investor can diligence without waiting weeks.
Deck vs. email
Don't attach the deck to cold outreach. The email earns the meeting; the deck supports the meeting. Attachments hurt deliverability and signal mass blast.
Raise profile inputs
Stage, sector, target amount, current traction metrics, use of funds, and investor preferences (geo, check size, strategic vs. financial). This becomes the input layer for matching and messaging.
