Investors always prefer warm intros.
OpenVC offers the Intro Finder, a Premium feature that automatically finds mutual connections between you and investors based on your Gmail and LinkedIn accounts.
Once your Intro Finder is set up, you will see either of the button next to each investor.
Click "n intros found". A pop-up will open and show you potential intro paths for that investor, including the connection strength.
The connectors are part of your network, so OpenVC doesn't manage the intro requests. You may contact them via email, WhatsApp... depending on your existing relationship with them.
When no intro is found, it means that we couldn't find anyone is your network that has access to that investor. You can always try to optimize your intro paths to expand your network (see next posts).
