Plan for about four weeks to see meaningful results. The campaign builds steadily over the first month as SeedForge reaches investors, connections come in, and replies follow. This is a long-term campaign.
Why it builds gradually
SeedForge sends on your LinkedIn at a human pace. Campaigns start at 10 connection requests a day and ramp up to the maximum of 20 as the account warms up. Requests go out only during the sending window: 09:00 to 19:00 GMT, six days a week, Saturdays off. Each investor also gets about one day of warm-up first. So the first week is mostly about reaching investors.
What you will see week by week
In the first week, your requests reach a meaningful list of investors and the first connections come in. Replies start landing in your normal LinkedIn inbox around week two, and meaningful results build by about week four.
What improves your results
Two levers move your numbers the most.
Complete your AI Session. Profiles with a completed AI Session tend to get better outcomes, and the session shows what to strengthen. Act on its feedback. Your first AI Session is free, and sessions are $25 each after that.
Use a LinkedIn Premium account. With Premium, each connection request carries a personalized note, which meaningfully improves how many investors accept. Without Premium, requests send without a note.
To track progress, open Outreach and watch the in-progress numbers, how many investors have connected, and the Engaged section, where replies and views show up.
Tip: If progress stalls, see "My campaign is not running, what should I do?"
