Our AI is going to become the fastest way for founders to find the right investors without wasting months on cold outreach.

That’s the mission. On it 🚀

[Vee @vahidf24]

@Mhadfield @sahin Fair question. I could list names without the tags, but then founders would have a harder time verifying who they are.
The tags are there for transparency and discovery, not to drive random outreach.

If you're raising and only chasing the same 5 famous angels, you're probably looking in the wrong place.

here is the first part of 20 operator-angels who:

read their own messages
write personal cheques up to $100K
make small first bets
and can answer within 48 hours

1. @sahin - San Francisco, Founder of Lovie, 225+ angel cheques, AI + B2B SaaS

2. @edwardlando - New York, Founder Pareto Holdings, fintech, SaaS, marketplaces

3. @cjc - San Francisco, COO Linear, ex-Stripe, ex-Notion, B2B SaaS + ops

4. @sm - San Francisco, CEO Winnie, ex-Postmates, consumer + parenting

5. @thesamparr - New York, Co-founder Hampton, ex-Hustle, consumer, content, SaaS

[Chris Saum @christophersaum]

The gravity is real. 5 of our last 6 pre-seed investments are based in SF, spending more time here.

In SF next week (7/27 – 7/30). $500K–$1M first checks at Active Capital.

Looking for founders in AI infra, software, fintech rails, or something weird nobody's funding yet.

DM or tag a founder below.

Bad distribution:

- Product will go viral
- People will find a good product on their own

Good distribution:

- SEO
- Improving landing page
- Content marketing
- Founder brand
- Build in public
- Community building
- Email marketing
- Newsletter
- 𝕏
- LinkedIn (okay okay)
- Reddit
- YouTube product explainers
- Short-form tiktoks
- Collabs
- Affiliates
- Launch platforms
- Direct outreach
- User case studies
- Word of mouth

Most founders focus on building.

The best founders focus on distribution 👌

@Mhadfield Fair point. If they open it, the first impression matters even more

[Vee @vahidf24]

Investors don’t read your pitch deck in order.

first, they scan for a reason to care

then, they search for a reason to say no

your first 3 slides create interest,
the rest of the deck removes doubt.

[Vee @vahidf24]

@TapochekT Haha, founders have to prove they're more than a prompt now

[Vee @vahidf24]

@FuzzyTumTums They increase the odds
but they don't decide the outcome

[Vee @vahidf24]

@Dawson_James_ @Evalyze_ai Just shared with you!

[Vee @vahidf24]

Wait, Claude can do what now?

turns out Claude can run your whole fundraising outreach. not just draft a cold email,
the whole thing.

here’s the stack I'd use if I were raising today, and all three pieces already exist:

1. get the right investor list first

use @Evalyze_ai to read your deck, score how ready you are to raise, and give you a matched list of verified investors who actually fit your stage and space.

not scraped names, not dead emails, not AI investors who have never written a check in your category.

2. add our free Claude fundraising skill

this writes the outreach, cold emails, follow-ups, replies to hard investor questions, and post-meeting recaps.

one rule sits above all of it: never read as AI.

no fake podcasts, no invented portfolio companies, no weird personalization that sounds impressive until the investor realizes it is made up.

3. run it in Claude Cowork

hand Cowork the list and the drafts, and let it work the raise with you: personalizing each message, tracking who you contacted, lining up the follow-ups, and making sure nobody slips through the cracks.

list, writing, messaging, follow-up.

the parts of a raise that used to eat your whole week, handled in one place.

the skill is free. MIT licensed. built for anyone raising pre-seed to Series B.

comment "Claude" and I'll send it over.

[Vee @vahidf24]

@fredde_s34923 @Evalyze_ai Yep, done! 😄🙌

[Vee @vahidf24]

@DevMatyas28516 @RightSideCapVC @johnengtwit @EverywhereVC @jefielding I like the methodology here 😄

[Vee @vahidf24]

8 pre-seed investors that still reads cold pitches if the company fits the mandate
Part2: US + Canada funds that write first cheques

1. @RightSideCapVC (@johnengtwit ) - $150K–$500K rounds, answers in days, US + Canada

2. @EverywhereVC (@jefielding ) - $250K first cheques, pre-seed, global

3. @VersionOneVC (@bwertz , ) - leads and co-leads pre-seed + seed, fresh $78M fund, Vancouver

4. @trustfundvc (@sophiaamoruso ) - $50K-$150K, business-building software, US

5. @Bread_ButterVC (@maryGrove) - foodtech, healthcare, enterprise, open office hours, Minneapolis

6. @G2CVENTURE (Vik Ghai) - $1M-$1.5M, leads first rounds, vertical AI, Palo Alto

7. @MaCVentureCap (@MarlonCNichols) - around $1M, leads seed, tech and culture, LA

8. @startupignition (@trich_) - $250K-$800K first cheques, Utah

I put the full breakdown together with the cheque sizes, focus, and the exact way in for each fund. If you want it, just say the word and I'll send it over.

[Vee @vahidf24]

@nicomoel AI will scan for signals too
founders may need to optimize for both humans and machines

[Vee @vahidf24]

@mageshkrajamani @X @ycombinator Traction definitely helps
the deck tells that story faster

[Vee @vahidf24]

@examachine Once you see it, you can't unsee it :)

[Vee @vahidf24]

@AliceInfoAi @Evalyze_ai Exactly, that's the goal!
