03Your playbook

Ask for an introduction with a forwardable note

Four steps. Each takes minutes, not hours.

1
Build a focused list
Start with the investors you already know: your Best fits show each one with a plain reason. A short, accurate list beats a long one.
2
Find a way in
Ways in shows who in your network may be a way in to an investor or their firm, what each way in rests on and how warm it is, so you can judge them in seconds. On Pro and above, the best-supported come first.
3
Make the intro easy
Ask the connector first, and send a short note they can forward unchanged.
4
Track conversations and commitments
Log each meeting, what was asked, what you promised and when to follow up. Today reminds you.

Asking the connector first

Hi Priya, I would love an introduction to Martin at Northgate: we are raising a seed round for Routeplan and his logistics investments look close to what we do. Would you be comfortable introducing us? I have added a short note below you could forward. If it is not a fit, no problem at all.

Ask before any introduction is made (double opt-in). Make saying no easy.

The forwardable note

Routeplan helps regional carriers plan routes weekly instead of daily. [Number] paying carriers; revenue up [x]% since [month]. Raising a seed round to expand to two new regions. Founder: [your name], previously operations at a national carrier.

Short, factual, no attachments. Only claims you can support.

A monthly update

Highlights: two new carriers signed. Lowlights: one pilot paused over budget. Key numbers: [your three numbers]. Asks: introductions to carriers in the north-east.

Same format every month. Include the bad news.

05Rhythm

Start early

Small and steady beats big and rare.

Months before raising: reconnect with people on your list and share progress, without asking for money.
During the round: work down Today's list every day. Introductions, follow-ups, promised materials.
After every meeting: note the questions asked and your promised follow-ups.
Monthly: send your update to everyone who asked for one.

What TapForNetwork does not do

It does not give investment advice or assess whether any investment is suitable.

Questions

Is this investment advice?

No. TapForNetwork is a relationship tool. It does not advise on investments or assess suitability, and it is not a platform for offering securities.

Can I track a whole round in it?

Yes: target list, stages, meeting notes, commitments and follow-up reminders, all private to you.

Does it find investors I don't know?

On paid plans, Find new people looks on the public web for people who fit your goal, and shows each with their public page so you can check them before you write. Free works with your own network.
