Goal templates for fundraising and investor outreach

Sellinger's goal picker has 2 Fundraising goals. Both aim at a short intro call, and both hold back the deck until the investor shows interest. This page shows the exact text and how to use it.

What this category is for

Investor outreach fails when it reads like a mass mailing, so both catalog goals push the agent toward a specific reason for contact. The first checks openness before sharing anything. The second sets a weekly count of conversations and asks the agent to open with why this investor fits this round. They suit a founder who already has a list of investors worth writing to and a clear description of the round.

The 2 catalog goals, exact text

Shown as written in the product's Goals picker, category Fundraising. Text in curly brackets is a blank the picker asks you to fill.
Investor openness. Priority Medium
Gauge whether the investor is open to reviewing the deck or taking a brief ten-minute intro call about the round. Share materials only after interest is expressed.
Thesis match calls. Priority Medium
Book intro calls with investors whose thesis matches the company, target 3 quality conversations per week, and open with the specific reason they fit this round.

What each goal does

What each goal achieves, and what to watch
Investor opennessHolds back the deck until the investor shows interest, which avoids unsolicited attachments.The ten minute call and the deck are two asks. Keep one if your round is early.
Thesis match callsMakes the opening about the investor's own thesis, not your pitch.It needs a researched reason per investor. Without research the reason is guessed.

When to use these goals, and when not to

Use them when

  • You have a defined round: stage, size, sector and a short summary.
  • Your investor list is filtered by stage, sector and geography, so the thesis match is real.
  • You or a co founder will take every call that gets booked.

Do not use them when

  • You have no deck or no round description. The agent would invent the reason to contact.
  • Your investors are already in warm conversations with you. A cold goal would feel out of place.
  • You expect the agent to negotiate terms. It is built to open a conversation and hand over.

What the data says

No outcome data yet. Sellinger has not measured results for this exact goal text, so this page makes no claim about replies, meetings or revenue. Measured campaigns are in the case studies.

Common questions

Does the agent send the deck?
Only after interest is expressed, according to the first goal. Add a human review rule for deck requests so a person decides what is shared.
What does 3 quality conversations per week mean?
It is wording in the second goal. Change it to a number you can handle.
Is there a fundraising rule pack?
Yes. The catalog includes a Fundraising and Investors rule pack for investors in your stage and sector, and for deck and meeting requests.
