Contacting VCs with warm outreach
If you are an early stage (Seed, Series A/B) founder (like me) trying to contact VCs cold => here is your template.
Yep, wearing a Stanford hoodie is not always enough, who knew?
Here is the process I do on GodmodeHQ:
1. I find leads in New York and UK
2. Find their Linkedin headlines
3. Find an angle around a recent investment they did
4. Use this to generate personal outreach to them
I talk through this in the video below. Particularly #3 using AI agents will save you so much time. Finding recent investments of VCs can take hours and hours of research and manual notetaking.
We offer a better way.
P.S.: I am not raising but happy to help anyone that does. Just hit me up.

Ignore is bliss - bullshit
If you don't know what gets you more leads, how are you to get even more?
We ignored this in our roadmap for long and now it is live on preview.
Ignorance isn't bliss, it's risky — unless it's pretending to enjoy your girlfriend's cooking."
Changelog | Issue #12
Making outreach personal for each prospect
It was dark. It was cold. The messages generated were too generic, spammy and robotic. Our AI script was not reliable.
We were trying everything.
Put a smiley face in front of the prompt, they said.
Make it role-play in your prompts, they said.
Use another LLM evaluator for better prompts, they said.
Collaborate on your prompts, they said.
Nothing worked.
So we got rid of the prompts. For a more reliable experience. For a warmer, for a faster generation. For magic.
So we present the new Generate outreach.

Content Agents on Slack
January 12, 2024 | #3
Okay. We just launched our proactive content agents on Slack. This is the first step towards building a deep-deep integration with Slack.
Datasets
We collected more than 1,000 outperforming Linkedin and Twitter posts manually checking for quality
We organised them according to subject, ranked them across likes and comments
Built a chunking system to rank the vectors and vectorised all the posts in a vector database.
Slack Connection
Built the Slack agent
On connection to your workspace, agent will work overnight to first generate 3 recommendations for social posting for your ideal customer profile
Agent will send notifications to you everyday before you wake up

Data dashboards
January 6, 2024 | #2
Data dashboard for Linkedin & Twitter Analytics
The team shipped a brand new data dashboard. The data is focused on 2 aspects:
Results and visits that are generated from your social posting
This includes followers and impressions. More importantly includes a conversion funnel from impressions to profile clicks to the URL clicks for the links that you share on your website
Consistency.
We heard time and again that it is very important to be consistent with social posting, ideally posting high quality content on a daily basis to build relationships with your followers and customers
Hence we overlaid the schedule of your posts onto your analytics to be able to see what worked in terms of results vs how many posts you sent out
Improvements
Added a
Drafts
section into the sidebar where you can easily see the draft posts you createdThis is intended to be an easy view of your inspirations and ideas
You can have them handy in the sidebar anytime you would like to keep writing or post or schedule.
Fixes
Tweet quoter had a bug with the width side of the editor on click. Now fixed
We reduced response times for the API endpoints by improving on our infrastructure set up
Changelog | Issue #1
New website & Editor Improvements & Community Center
December 31, 2023
Website improvement
We shipped a new website that reflects the changes in the current product and the vision of what we are building. Website was built in Framer for flexible changes.
The design is deliberately done in light mode with a white background. To collect waitlist submissions, we are using Tally forms embeds on click for submission.
Editor improvements
Auto-saving fixed inside the editor
Comment creation fixed when content for multiple platforms are created
Video upload limit increased extensively which means large size video uploads work seamlessly inside the editor both in:
Linkedin
Twitter / X
Post settings
In order to make it more user friendly and clear, we improved some of the posts user interface after publishing.
User now gets redirected to
