Rules for follow-ups emails:

1) Follow up a minimum of 2x per investor

2) Allow 2 days to pass between each follow-up

3) Make each follow-up email a shorter version of the last

4) View who has or hasn’t opened your emails with http://Snov.io
You’ll receive valuable feedback as you talk with these investors.

3 tips for using this feedback to improve your deck & pitch:

1) With permission, record all video calls

2) Make note of when investors’ faces light up or lose interest

3) Study these results & iterate!
The main purpose of your deck is to showcase:

1) Why your startup will be an enormous business one day

2) Why it’ll make your investors an insane return

Here’s how I’ve nailed these questions in the past👇
How big is your startup today?

Answer with at least 3 of these:

1) Solid revenue
2) Impressive growth
3) Fast execution speed
4) Strong unit economics
5) Dedicated customer love

As long as you’re great at 3 of these, it’s OK to be average at the rest.
How big will your startup be in the future?

Answer with at least 3 of these:

1) Large market size (mandatory)
2) Your unique business game plan
3) How you’re going to scale profitably
4) Why you’ll beat out your competitors
5) Growth favored by category tailwinds
Some other information your pitch and deck MUST include:

- Why you founded this startup (mission)
- Why you have the greatest team in the space
- Why you’re the right founder at the right time

Nail these & you give yourself a strong foundation for your pitch.
