Fundraising: A Tough Game… Or Is It?
A big thank you to all those who subscribed. Feel free to share this newsletter with your link to enjoy the gifts !!! 😉
Fundraising — what a challenge… or maybe not. It’s one of the core reasons was born: to give everyone what I provide to our startups — the best resources at the perfect time. But there’s one thing the Founder Box (our dedicated space for founders) has been missing: a curated list of the world’s top investors.
Why Create This List Now?
Because the time to act is now! An investor list isn’t just a directory — it’s a strategic weapon, but only if you know how to wield it.
A well-crafted, personalized, and targeted cold email can open doors you thought were closed forever. As
once said, a thoughtfully written message can rival even the most golden introductions.But at BrainInvest, we don’t just stop at a list. We go beyond.
We’ve built a unique intelligence platform. Every investor, partner, corporate leader, or freelance collaborator we’ve worked with is meticulously categorized by objectives, preferences, and even favorite colors (yes, we go that deep). Why? To ensure maximum value creation in every introduction we make.
Our Philosophy: Relationships, Not Transactions
Fundraising isn’t just about landing a check. It’s about building authentic human connections, grounded in trust and a shared vision.
That’s why we urge founders to truly understand the investment strategy of a VC before reaching out. Whenever possible, aim for an introduction via your network — an open door is much easier to walk through. A strong relationship is an investment in itself.
