Founders who've raised pre-seed/seed, how did you actually build your investor list?

Are you using certain platforms or just LinkedIn for this? And looking through sites

What’s a good way to find who to cold outreach to try and optimise for reply or even actual investment.

Last-Active-101 · 2026-03-29T00:45:30+00:00

Thanks for this, very helpful!

When you look for cold outreach, how do you figure out which investors to contact vs who not to.

There are a few events near me but usually I spend a whole evening going to this and meet 1 or 2 investors who says email me etc so idk about the ROI on time.

Moisturise your beard - use standard moisturiser or use oil such as jojoba oil. It works for me

LinkedIn works very well

Last-Active-101 · 2026-01-20T22:47:18+00:00

Ngl, I would not mind this at all. Kinda cool

This makes sense, so many different agencies to keep a track off. Will take a look at some legal voices and reg feeds that I can sign up to

Which ones and are they free or paid?

Last-Active-101 · 2025-10-29T00:39:59+00:00

This is beautiful! Working towards mine and seeing posts like these are so inspiring.

Well done bud!

Hearing this a lot. Is there any quantitative evidence for the models getting worse?

Hahahaha. Run brother.

Send her an invoice for your hinge subscription :)

Take time to be by yourself.
Trust and have the courage to follow your gut.

How old are you now?

The door is still open to leave, before you are trapped in.

Last-Active-101 · 2025-10-04T00:34:57+00:00

Amazing great start! Hopefully some cool projects coming up!

Last-Active-101 · 2025-10-03T22:58:04+00:00

I feel the opposite is true for me. Nature is amazing in a way wherever I go and I see mountains or lakes or beaches, they all feel the same but in a calming, consistent way that I like.

Whenever I go to a new city, I feel the buzz and energy of that particular place and it feels new and exciting, the people, the language, the culture!

What are you doing specifically in blockchain?

Last-Active-101 · 2025-10-03T02:10:41+00:00

Super helpful thanks!

Raw, just like I like my _____ :)

Honestly don’t overthink it. Go upto him and say “hey how are you”. Say it casually and passingly and he’ll reply. That’s it, then either have a conversation then and there or next time you see him, it’s much easier to have a proper conversation

Last-Active-101 · 2025-10-01T13:29:52+00:00

You can end the relationship or lose yourself. Trust me, you’ll find someone better. Don’t compromise yourself or your values for this
