Hey everyone, welcome back to the Product Market Fit Newsletter 🚀🚀

I’ve put together a curated list of the 1,000 most active angel investors from around the world. This isn’t just a bunch of names—you’ll get their investor types, the stages they invest in, the regions they’re focused on, and best of all, their LinkedIn and Twitter profiles. So you can reach out to them directly.

And we’re not talking about just anyone. The list includes big names like Elad Gil, Naval Ravikant, Scott Banister, Marc Benioff, Garry Tan, Justin Kan, and many more.

These are the folks who’ve backed some of the most successful startups out there and that you should definitely know.

So, here’s what you’ll find in the database:

• Names of the Top 1,000 Angel Investors: So you know exactly who they are.

• Investor Type: Whether they’re solo angels, part of a syndicate, or super angels with multiple investments.

• Investment Stages: The stages they typically invest in—pre-seed, seed, Series A, etc.

• Regions: The geographical areas they’re focused on, so you can find investors active in your market.

• Industries and Sectors: Their areas of interest or expertise, helping you align your outreach.

• LinkedIn Profiles: Direct links to their LinkedIn profiles for easy connecting and networking.

• Twitter Profiles: Follow them on Twitter to get a feel for their thoughts and stay updated.

• Additional Info: Any other relevant details that can give you an edge when reaching out.

I put this together because I know how hard it can be to get in front of the right people. Having direct access can make all the difference.

Getting into Y Combinator is harder than getting into Harvard 🤯

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Most founders don’t get rejected because they lack access.

They get rejected because they never learned how YC thinks.

Everyone knows this, YC is NOT just capital. It’s an entire culture and philosophy about how to build product, growth, speed, and focus 🔥

And almost all of it is public.

If you internalize these principles, you don’t just increase your odds of getting in, you dramatically increase your odds of building something that survives.

This is the closest thing to a YC curriculum you can study on your own.

What you’ll get:

1. The YC Pocket Guide

2. The Startup Playbook (Sam Altman)

3. YC Seed Pitch Deck Template

4. YC Series A Pitch Deck Template

5. YC Guide to Fundraising

6. How to Build a Successful MVP

7. How to Hack Systems

8. 60 Questions to Work on Your Startup

9. YC Ultimate Startup Job Guide

10. Veed.io’s YC Application (S19)

And one more thing.

If you are seriously applying to YC (especially this following batch), I built an intense deep dive that breaks down exactly how to get into YC and maximise your odds, structure, positioning and application strategy 🔥

It’s not necessary. But it’s high leverage.

Each one of these is a distilled solution to a problem, and over the last two years, I’ve been relentlessly iterating, refining, and improving them.

🎁 I’m Giving Them All Away (Yes, Seriously)

These infographics have seriously changed my life—they’ve:
✅ Helped me grow my audience to 100K+ on LinkedIn
✅ Landed me meetings with top VCs & founders
✅ Sparked thousands of conversations with like-minded entrepreneurs

And now… I thought I would give them away!!

I have a love-hate feeling with giving access to all this hard work, but following my main life goal of helping entrepreneurs, I think it is time to do it!

What you are getting: my whole Figma File with all the infographics I’ve designed the last two years

📂 My Personal Figma File – 2 years of work, completely editable
📈 All the best-performing infographics – ready to use & modify
💡 A content goldmine – perfect for growing your brand & standing out

You can take these, tweak them, rebrand them, and use them to build your audience or educate your customers.

Here’s a screenshot of the figma file 👇

⏳ This Might Not Last Forever...

I have mixed feelings about giving away something that took me hundreds of hours to create. So I don’t know how long I’ll keep this available.

If you are coming from Linkedin you can get it with the free trial (no strings attached, you can use it however you want), if you think it’s value you can subscribe to our premium subscription where you’ll get great resources like this👇

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Product Market Fit Newsletter!

Lately, most funding talk is VCs and angels.

But there’s another group that’s been quietly writing a lot of cheques lately: family offices.

They’re private capital with deep pockets and long time horizons, no fund cycles, no rush to exit. That means they can back niche ideas, spend real time with founders, and stay involved well beyond the first cheque, often bringing operators’ experience and serious networks.

If you’re looking for investors who actually get what you’re building (and aren’t just optimising for the next round), family offices are worth paying attention to.

Anyways, so what did I do? 😅

I spent this week building this:

Instead of one massive, messy database, this is a curated map of the best family office lists, organised by where they actively invest, not where they’re headquartered.

Markets covered:

1. 🇺🇸 USA

2. 🇬🇧 UK

3. 🇩🇪 Germany

4. 🇮🇱 Israel

5. 🇪🇺 Europe (pan-European)

6. 🌎 Rest of World

What you get in each list:

• Investor name + website (so you can verify and research fast)

• Investor type (single-family, multi-family, personal FO)

• Global HQ (where the team is based)

• Countries they invest in (where they actually deploy capital)

• Stage focus (Idea → Pre-IPO)

• Thesis (what they like + what they avoid)

• Minimum / maximum cheque (so you don’t waste time pitching the wrong size)

Everything included with a subscription

Startups don’t fail in dramatic ways, but they fail quietly, inside spreadsheets no one is really looking at.

Either runway disappears faster than expected, dilution compounds invisibly, growth looks healthy until unit economics say otherwise, and pricing caps upside long before product market fit ever settles.

The difference between founders who survive and founders who don’t isn’t intelligence or ambition, but knowing whats happening.

These are the exact models used to:

• Understand whether growth creates value or accelerates burn

• Make hiring and pricing decisions with conviction

• Avoid irreversible ownership mistakes

• Stress-test assumptions before the market does

Use these to run the business first.

Table of Contents

1. Full-Stack SaaS Financial Model (Investor-Ready)
→ Growth, costs, unit economics, and cash — all in one system

2. Runway & Burn Calculator
→ Survival math, hiring impact, and scenario planning

3. Cap Table Template (Early-Stage)
→ Ownership, dilution, and control — fully diluted

4. SAFE / Valuation & Dilution Calculator
→ How SAFEs convert and what they really cost you

5. Unit Economics Calculator (CAC / LTV / Payback)
→ Is growth compounding — or leaking?
(Template by Maxio)

6. VC Startup Valuation Model (VC Method)
→ How investors price risk, time, and outcomes

7. Berkus VC Valuation Model (Pre-Revenue)
→ Valuation before traction, grounded in risk reduction

8. Go-To-Market Funnel & Conversion Model
→ From leads to revenue — where growth actually happens

9. Sensitivity Analysis Table
→ Which assumptions matter and where the business breaks

10. SaaS Pricing Worksheet Calculator
→ Pricing architecture, not guesswork

Lets get to it 🔥

1. Full-Stack SaaS Financial Model Template (Investor-Ready)

A good founder is one that knows his numbers. This template gives you a clear view of growth, costs, and cash that stress-tests whether scaling creates value or just accelerates burn.

Operating & Decision Layer

This model ties revenue, costs, unit economics, and cash into a single system, showing whether growth compounds value or accelerates burn. The dashboard then compresses this into clear outcomes (runway, break-even timing, peak cash need, and long-term scale) so decisions can be made quickly and with conviction.

So, I’ve always been obsessed with web design.

I would see these amazing websites and would dream of having one like them for my company.

The problem?

I didn’t have the 30K to hire a great designer + developer team nor the time to manage them.

Having a great website used to be limited to companies with big budgets.

Well, not anymore.

I created website templates that look amazing, inspired on the fastest growing tech companies.

But not only that,

I also created a working Lovable using Lovable itself (I called it Agentic)

In it, I tried replicating the same templates I had built in Lovable previously. Crazily enough, it works. It’s not perfect but if i dedicated a couple of weeks to it it would be.

Try it here

DISCLAIMER: This is an experiment, the software is not perfect and doesn’t mean to suplant lovable, but it’s still crazy to see what it can do. If you try it let me know.

Here are some of the website templates I did on my selfbuilt Lovable (pretty wild).

(I’m not sharing my working Lovable template, but happy to sell it! email me if you want it (base44 sold for 80M in months)

Notion Style Website

I always loved Notion Style and it’s amazing how easy it is to mimic now. Definitely one of the best designs in the world because of its simplicity.

Replit Style Website

Crazy how good this one is.

Reddit Clone

My Lovable clone even did a pretty close interface clone of Reddit 🤯

Now, although these website templates are very basic, and not fully working it’s crazy I was able to do them with a Lovable clone I built on Lovable.

Now, this isn’t where I finished.

Back on Lovable, the real Lovable, I created great templates of some of the webs of the fastest growing startups, so you can

1. Get them

2. Edit them and adapt them to your brand

3. Boom, you have a world class Website

Use these templates to create a world class website for your company

(I’m not sharing my working Lovable template, but happy to sell it! email me if you want it (base44 sold for 80M in months)

1. Legora Style Template: for Legal tech Startups or Lawfirms

   

2. Elevenlabs Style Website

More than 100 startups crossed the $1B valuation mark in 2025 many of them doing it earlier, faster, and with less traditional validation than ever before.

The headline explanation is obvious: AI ignited an investor frenzy.

But if you go past the headlines and actually analyze the full list tracked by Crunchbase and PitchBook data, a much more precise story appears.

2025 didn’t just reward “AI companies.”

It rewarded specific layers of the stack, specific narratives, and specific investor behaviors.

If you read startup news every week, you’ve seen the pattern: a company you barely recognize announces a round or a launch and, within hours, it’s everywhere. Bloomberg, TechCrunch, Wired, Fast Company.

Meanwhile, you might be building something just as real (sometimes with more traction), but your announcement disappears into the void.

The reason usually isn’t quality, or even network; it’s distribution.

Press isn’t random, and it isn’t reserved for famous founders. It’s a system driven by beat fit, timing, and whether you make it easy for a journalist to write something relevant right now.

That’s why I built Startup Press Access Database a curated database + a practical guide that turns “getting covered” from luck into a repeatable process.

Inside you’ll find

• 500+ verified press touchpoints, including tech journalists (with direct emails), startup-friendly outlets, directories that still drive discovery, and communities where stories surface early.

• Journalists from outlets like Bloomberg, CNBC, TechCrunch, Wired, The Verge, Business Insider, Fortune, Vox, WSJ, NYT, and more.

• Coverage across the US, Europe, UK, and Asia, so you don’t pitch the wrong story to the wrong outlet.

• A detailed guide to approaching journalists and getting replies, including how journalists evaluate pitches, how to find an angle that isn’t PR spam, cold email structures that work, 4 cold email templates, timing rules, follow-ups, and how small coverage compounds into big coverage.

If you’re announcing a round, launching a product, shipping a major update, or simply want inbound from users, partners, and investors, this is the kind of “quiet infrastructure” that changes outcomes.

Startup Press Access is available only to paid subscribers.

I compiled the list of early angel investors of Lovable, Cursor, Mercor, Polymarket, Synthesia & ElevenLabs 🔥

One angel investor can change the future of your company. Most of these people are connected to biggest VCs & companies in the world and their validation can move mountains.

While most VCs tried investing in these companies very few could, and still, some of these angels outcompeted VCs

So I decided to compile this list to help founders 100x their valuation 🚀

It includes the early angel investors of:

1. Lovable

2. Cursor

3. Mercor

4. Synthesia

5. Legora

6. Polymarket

7. ElevenLabs

You know how every founder says,
“I just need the right intro to investors”?

What if you didn’t?

Because the truth is, not every investor needs a warm intro.
Some of them back founders who reach out cold — if you do it right.

That’s where today’s drop comes in:

🧩 The No-Warm-Intro-Required Investor List

160+ investors who have actually written checks to founders who DM’d, cold-emailed, or pitched them without an intro.

These are investors who don’t care if you know a VC, went to Stanford, or have a famous angel on your cap table — they care about your product, traction, and story.

What’s inside:

• Names & roles of investors and funds

• Stage focus: Pre-seed, Seed, Series A

• Verticals: B2B, SaaS, AI, Productivity, Future of Work

• Contact info & LinkedIn for direct outreach

• Portfolio examples to tailor your message

• Notes on past cold deals (yes, real ones)

And yes — almost half of them have led rounds from cold outreach.

How to Use It (and Actually Get Replies)

Here’s the playbook to go from “cold” to “funded”:

1. Do your homework.
   Check if they invest in your stage, your sector, and your geography. Don’t spray and pray.

2. Tailor your pitch.
   Reference something specific about their investments, thesis, or public posts. Make it human.

3. Keep it short.
   4–5 lines max. What you’re building, key traction, and what makes you unique.

4. Triple-check spelling and names.
   Nothing kills a cold pitch faster than “Hi Adam” when their name’s Alex.

5. Don’t spam.
   Treat this like the start of a 7–10 year relationship — because it might be.

Most founders pitch investors the wrong way.

They talk about features, markets, or traction.

But the best VCs like Vinod Khosla invest in how big your company could become tomorrow, not what you have today.

That is why this week’s Product Market Fit Pack is special.

I pulled together the actual fundraising frameworks from Khosla Ventures, one of the best firms in the world at spotting moonshots.👉 Inside you will find the exact playbooks Khosla founders use to raise capital and win trust:

What is included:

1. Pitch the way VCs think — A masterclass on aligning your pitch with how investors process risk and opportunity.

2. How to solve the Pitch Problem — Why most decks fail and the tactics to fix them.

3. Plausible Tomorrows by Vinod Khosla — How to sell a compelling vision of the future.

4. How to frame a Pitch that Actually Lands by Zack Schildhorn — Structuring your story to stick.

5. How to Present to Investors with the ACS Framework — Vinod’s method for clarity and persuasion.

6. How to Hire by Vinod Khosla — Because fundraising is useless if you cannot recruit top people.

7. What makes entrepreneurs entrepreneurial — Khosla’s philosophy on founder DNA.

8. The Sun Microsystems Business Plan — The original plan that built a legendary company.

9. How Trevor Lee pitched Vinod Khosla and got invested — A real-world example of what works.

Startups can make employees millionaires. They can also leave them with nothing.

Windsurf is the latest example. They almost sold to OpenAI for 3B. The deal collapsed. Google licensed the tech and hired a few key people for 2.4B. Founders and investors walked away with money. Most of the 250 employees walked away with zero.

On the other side, Nvidia’s rise has made most of its early employees millionaires.

The difference is not luck. It is ownership.

That’s why I built this week’s Product Market Fit pack: a complete equity ownership guide to help you see your real slice and know when it actually pays.

👉 Inside you’ll find:

• A full equity guide: cap tables, dilution, payout waterfalls

• Pre-seed Cap Table Calculator

• Option Offer Calculator

• Official YC SAFE templates

• Exit Waterfall Simulator

For today’s newsletter, I curated Creandum’s most famous fundraising resources:

1. Creandum Seed Deck Template (PPT)

   Creandum’s Seed Deck Template is a clear, structured guide to help founders tell a compelling story and raise their first round. It covers all the essentials: a sharp exec summary, clear problem-solution framing, product deep dive with visuals, credible market sizing, differentiated positioning vs. competitors, early metrics or pipeline, strong team highlights, and a forward-looking vision. It’s designed to help you stand out, even if you're pre-revenue, by showing clarity, ambition, and execution potential in 15–20 well-crafted slides.

2. Creandum Series A Deck Template

   If you’re raising a Series A, use Creandum’s deck template, it’s one of the best out there. It shows you exactly what VCs want to see: problem, product, traction, market size, vision, all in a tight, clear structure. It also reminds you to make it look good and keep your numbers fresh.

3. Creandum Data Room Template

   Creandum’s Data Room Template gives you a clear checklist of what to include when you're raising a Seed or Series A. It covers the essentials investors want to review before committing: your pitch deck, detailed team profiles, a product overview and roadmap, core metrics (like growth, retention, and CAC), key customer insights or case studies, and a solid financial plan with assumptions.

4. Creandum Financial Plan Model

   If you're raising a round, Creandum’s financial model template is a must-have. It’s not just a spreadsheet, it’s your second pitch.

   VCs will dig into your assumptions, so this template helps you show how your business actually works: growth drivers, KPIs, financials, and transparency. It’s clean, clear, and built for storytelling.

Creandum is one of Europe’s most successful early-stage venture capital firms.

With a portfolio that includes Spotify (IPO), Klarna (Europe’s highest-valued private fintech), and Depop (acquired by Etsy for $1.6B), Creandum has consistently backed category-defining companies from seed.

Based in Stockholm, Berlin, and London, the firm has built a reputation for spotting breakout talent early, often before others are paying attention.

With over $1B in assets under management and a track record that rivals top global firms, Creandum is a one of the leading firms in European venture.

BTW, I just wrote an article for a16z Speedrun’s Newsletter about why every founder should be in the US at least 3 months a year. Click in the picture below to check it out!

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Product Market Fit Newsletter 🚀🚀

You know how everyone’s always talking about VCs and angels when it comes to startup funding?

Well, there’s another group quietly shaping the future that you shouldn’t ignore: Family Offices.

Think of them like private investors with deep pockets and flexible timelines—they don’t have to follow the usual VC playbook, so they can afford to look at deals with fresh eyes and stick around longer.

Because they’re not under the same pressure as traditional funds, family offices can invest in more niche ideas, put real effort into supporting founders, and actually become true partners.

They often bring their networks, their experience, and a willingness to grow with you over the long haul.

If you’ve been craving investors who “get” what you’re building and aren’t just chasing the next quick exit, these might be your people.

I’ve pulled together a new resource:

The Family Office List: 1,000 active family offices investing in Startups worldwide

Here’s what’s inside:

• Names of Family Offices/Funds: Know exactly who’s who.

• Investment Stage: Understand if they go for pre-seed, seed, Series A, or beyond.

• Region: Find offices in your market—or the ones you want to break into next.

• Description: Get a quick snapshot of their vibe, focus, and strategy.

• LinkedIn Profile: No more guesswork—connect directly and start a conversation.

• Number of Investments: See how active they are and if they’re still writing checks.

• Location & Website: Get more context on where they’re based and do a deeper dive before you reach out
