in short
The key advantage wasn't the speed of data collection but the precision of segmentation and quality of first contact. Investors immediately saw this wasn't mass outreach but a thoughtful approach.
A FoodTech startup was preparing for a round and looking for relevant investors. The usual path - months of networking, random intros, dozens of irrelevant meetings. We proposed a different approach: build a targeted database in three days and immediately launch personalized outreach.
Day one was spent defining the ideal investor profile: stage, check size, geography, portfolio companies, thematic focus. Not "all funds that invest in FoodTech" but specific criteria that increase the probability of interest.
On day two, we assembled a database of 140 contacts: funds, angels, syndicates. For each, we recorded key information - recent investments, public theses, portfolio connections.
key insight
This isn't just a list of names but material for personalization. For each of 140 contacts - portfolio, theses, connections. This is what made the outreach precise.
Day three - preparing outreach scenarios. For each investor segment, we wrote separate first-touch logic: different emphases depending on the fund's portfolio and the partner's public interests.

Result: out of 140 contacts, 23 entered conversations in the first two weeks. 8 requested due diligence materials. The entire process - from zero to first commitments - took 5 weeks.
