There are several rules: if you have a personal “warm” contact among founders who are familiar with us, then ask him or her for an intro. Another effective move is to contact our analyst. Few people think about this, but it is he or she who has a big influence on a startup’s destiny. Find a contact and write a letter where you briefly introduce yourself, describe your experience, project, key metrics and ask for a call.
An analyst is a person who is constantly in touch with partners, if he or she likes your startup, he or she is able to influence how it will be perceived in the team. A priori, the analyst has more time to study your project, dive deep into it, ask questions that will help to reveal the essence and give some new introductory information. Even if it turns out that the startup does not fit us according to some criteria, you will receive valuable comments on your presentation.
Here is the step by step plan we advise you to stick to.
Overall, if everything goes well, from the date you sent us your pitch till the day we close the deal there might be about 4-8 weeks. This is not the rule, but the average timing in our practice.
