Forget Warm Intros — These 160 Investors Fund Strangers on the Internet

160+ active investors who have funded startups from cold outreach — no warm intros, no connections required.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Product Market Fit Newsletter, the go-to spot for founders who actually build and raise.

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.
