The warm intro campaign gets you introduced to your matched investors by the people those investors trust most: founders they have already backed. SeedForge reaches out, from your own LinkedIn, to founders in your matched investors' portfolios and asks them to introduce you to the investor. A warm intro from a portfolio founder lands very differently from a cold message.
It is a separate campaign from your cold investor outreach, and you can run both at the same time. They share the same connected LinkedIn account and the same wallet.
How it works
Get matched. SeedForge matches you with investors whose thesis fits your stage and sector (see HC-4.2).
SeedForge builds your warm intro list. From those matched investors' portfolios, SeedForge automatically finds founders who can introduce you. They appear as a separate warm intro list, apart from the investor list.
You approve the messages. As with the investor campaign, you review and approve the message sent to each portfolio founder before anything goes out. Everything sends from your own LinkedIn, in your voice.
SeedForge sends and tracks replies. Messages go out from your LinkedIn, and replies land in your normal LinkedIn inbox.
A portfolio founder offers the intro. When a founder clearly offers to introduce you to the investor, that is a warm intro. They make the introduction, and you take it from there.
What it costs
Your first month of outreach is free, with no charges and no wallet deposit. After the trial, a warm intro is a flat $10, charged only when a portfolio founder clearly offers the introduction. A friendly reply that does not actually offer an intro is free. Profile views, replies, and messages that do not lead to an offer are always free.
How it differs from the cold investor campaign
The cold investor campaign messages investors directly and can lead to a booked call ($10). The warm intro campaign messages founders in those investors' portfolios and can lead to a warm intro ($10). Same connected LinkedIn, same wallet, two separate campaigns you can run side by side.
