TL;DR: Explore Fundingstack's 'Get Intro' feature to streamline investor connections. Learn how smart contact integration, LinkedIn mapping, and personalized messaging can help you get warm intros and enhance your fundraising process.

Drumroll… We Are Excited to Announce the Launch of an Exciting New Feature: "Get Intro"

We believe it has the potential to significantly improve the way VC firms connect with LPs and other investors, as it bypasses the common problems of unsolicited LinkedIn outreach and cold emails.

Why We Built This

Since our start, Fundingstack’s playbook has been quite simple: we study how fundraising works in the “real world,” and we build tools to improve and streamline each step in the process.

For example:

  • Our Investor Database helps GPs build a target list of LPs.
  • Our Investor CRM helps them manage and run a process.
  • Our Pitch Deck, Send Email, and Investor Update tools help drive marketing and follow-up activities.
  • Our Virtual Data Room facilitates the due diligence and closing process.

But there was always one missing piece of the puzzle: once you’ve built a list of target investors, how do you get in front of them? “Get Intro” solves this by mapping your social graph and auto-magically finding the best and strongest warm intro.


How It Works

Fundingstack’s "Get Intro" makes identifying and connecting with potential investors much easier with the help of four new capabilities:

  1. Smart Contact Integration
    "Get Intro" integrates with users' Google accounts and analyzes all contacts, calendar entries, and email activity. This will help uncover potential connections within already existing networks.
  2. LinkedIn Connection Mapping
    "Get Intro" scans 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree LinkedIn connections and provides users with a complete view of their extended professional network.
  3. Optimized Pathway Discovery
    "Get Intro" identifies the most effective pathways to target investors with the help of its sophisticated data analytics. This will reduce the time and effort needed for the fundraising process.
  4. Tailored Introduction Messaging
    "Get Intro" offers personalized messaging templates. This will help warm introductions with both intermediaries and potential investors—and make conversions more likely.

Why This Matters To You

VCs and LPs are more likely to give priority to people referred by someone they trust, while most cold emails are ignored. Research shows that warm intros are 30x more effective than cold outreach. That is exactly why "Get Intro" is expected to translate into more pitch meetings, a more efficient fundraise, and an exponentially higher probability of raising capital.
