How AI Can Handpick the Perfect Investors for Your Company
pulling back the curtain on our process
One of the biggest problems we hear from early-stage founders looking to raise is that they struggle to find the “right” investors due to their specific requirements.
“We only invest in this region.”
“You must have xyz traction first.”
“You have to have a connection to 123".
Keeping track of the thesis requirements for funds you’re speaking with can be a nightmare.
Which is exactly why we’re letting tech do it for us.
You may have heard of clay.com before.
They just raised $100M on a $3.1B valuation last week (we’re actually 1 of their 100 product experts too).
In Clay, they have custom built web scrapers that you can prompt using AI to go anywhere on the web and pull specific information you ask it to.
For every client we work with, here’s our process for utilizing these AI web scrapers to find your perfect investor.
Fund Thesis Scraping
The first thing we always do is find a publicly-facing message about what the company focuses on in their investment criteria.
This will look on their website, LinkedIn pages, blog articles, etc.
We’ll then get the AI to summarize the information it finds into a 5-10 sentence of the investment focus → “We focus on companies that ______ solving ________”.
Company Scoring System
Next, we upload a description of your company as well as links to all of your social media / website assets so that the AI gets a sense of what you do, what market you operate in, etc.
We’ll then create a prompt asking the AI to rank from 1-10, how close your company (and all of your information), lines up with the investment criteria of the fund.
Operating this at scale, you now have your company being sized up against thousands of investment funds, only going through and finding us the absolute best ones completely catered for you.
Specific Fund Selection
Once this enrichment runs inside of our tables, we pick a number (usually 7-8) and only choose the companies that have a minimum score of that to have as our main fundamental list.
This way, nearly everyone we reach out to should have a specific focus on your market, industry, and what you’re building.
And that is how we build specific, customized, killer lists every single time for our clients.
If you want us to do this for your company, shoot me a reply back and we’ll find a time to talk.
