You can raise your pre-seed like this:
Cold email 200 angels from a scraped list
Open with your valuation
Send the deck before the relationship
Follow up every 72 hours like a metronome
- OR -
Map 25 angels who've backed your category before
Let someone they trust make the introduction
Show you understand their downside before you sell the upside
Give them a reason to move, not a deadline to resent
Up to you…
