The targeting problem

Travel tech, fintech and SaaS at the same time. Miss the overlap and the deck never gets read.

  • Travel funds read it as fintech
  • Fintech funds read it as travel
  • Both pass on the same company
  • Only the overlap replies

What investors wrote back

Nine documented replies. Founder and company names stay masked, exactly as the original.

Asked for the deck
Your teaser in the e-mail sounded quite interesting. Would you mind sharing a pitch deck with us before scheduling a call to better understand whether your company fits our specific investment focus?

This would be very helpful in order to make the process as efficient as possible for both sides.
Nickolas Reinecke Analyst Earlybird
