Respect the relationship
Ask only when the investor fit is real and make it easy for the contact to decline.
Free fundraising tool
Investor warm intro request template.
Copy a short note for asking a mutual contact to introduce you to an investor, with a forwardable blurb they can send without rewriting your pitch.
Built for founder-friendly introductions
Use it before a cold outreach sequence, then tighten the story
with the paid scorecard, prompts, memo, deck outline, Q&A
prep, and investor email language.
Before the ask
Make the introduction easy to forward.
A strong warm intro request does not make the mutual contact do narrative work. It names the investor fit, gives permission to pass, and includes a compact blurb that can be forwarded as-is.
This template is designed for founders preparing first outreach to angels, scouts, and seed investors.
Write the forward
Include a crisp company blurb so the contact can forward without extra drafting.
Anchor the reason
Tie the intro to the investor's stage, thesis, market, or portfolio pattern.
