Want to text Kevin? Start with the pitch.

I am easy to reach when the ask is clear. Read the lead-investor piece, answer a few questions, upload the deck, pick the funds or angels that fit, and send me one useful text.

Step 01 / Read first

Read this before you ask for intros.

The point is simple: do not ask for random VC intros. Know the likely lead, why that fund or partner fits your stage, category, check size, geography, and portfolio context.

Open the Medium article How to Find Your Lead Institutional Investor?

01Find the lead.

The lead sets price, does diligence, writes the term sheet, and carries the round.

02Match the fund.

Stage, category, check size, geography, and active partner all matter.

03Build the list.

A strong founder shows a researched 25-50 investor target list, not a wish list.

I read the article and understand Kevin is looking for a specific lead-investor thesis. One-sentence takeaway 0 / 280

Step 02 / Founder signal

Give me the founder version, not the memo.

Short answers are better. I need to know what you are building, why it can become a fundable company, and why you are the team.

Step 03 / Deck gate

Add the deck.

Start with the pitch. A deck or link gives me enough context to be useful. You can upload a file or paste a DocSend, Google Slides, or Canva link.

PDF, PPT, PPTX, or Keynote Choose a deck file Max size follows the current Cloud Run API limit.

Deck link fallback KW Angel Fund may review this submission. The deck is not automatically shared with outside investors. I am comfortable with KW Angel Fund using software tools to summarize the deck and suggest investor fits. Kevin reviews before any outreach.

Choose a deck file or paste a deck link.

Step 04 / Right VC list

Build the first investor list.

Pick funds or angels that fit the stage, category, geography, and check size. I can help improve the list.

I understand these are candidate fits, not promised introductions.

Step 05 / Text draft

Send the useful text.

The text should make it easy for me to help: pitch, round, ask, deck, and the people you think fit.
