    Pre product meaning no code , no prototype, no mockups? Just a power point deck? And Vc gave few millions for that?

    We did the same. Now have raised 4 rounds with a team of over 100. Getting a reply from investors or raising funding is not the key, just a start. The key is to plan and execute against it.

  • How did you reach out to investors? Did you get reply back from all of them? How much equity did you give out?

    • Any advice on how to reach out to investors? Do you send them a deck as well on the first email?

      OP
      My personal advice is to try and get a good warm connect if you don't know the partner already. You want to make a good first impression, so have a short blurb ready about the broad area, TAM etc ready. Then speak to the partner once and share a deck for comments (if they are patient, and want to invest, they will definitely iterate). Then you have the usual IC meetings etc
