Hey {{first_name|default:there}}, it’s Vadim 👋
It’s August, which means it’s a good time to finally go through the mail 😄
When each of you joined Bio Founder GPS, I asked what you’re working through and what would make the newsletter more useful.
Close to 400 of you took time to answer (thank you!), so I spent this weekend going through all the responses in detail.
A few questions came up again and again, so I thought I’d dedicate an issue to addressing them head-on.
🧭 HERE’S WHAT WE’LL COVER:
How do I get warm introductions to investors?
How do I know which investors actually lead rounds?
What do I do when investors say I’m “too early”?
Are angel investors worth pursuing?
Can I raise without an AI angle?
And more!
Let’s get into it! 🙂
But first: help me shape Bio Founder GPS this fall
The Bio Founder GPS world is growing, and I have a few exciting additions planned for the next few months.
As I think about what comes next, I want to make sure I’m spending my time on the things that bring you the most value.
So I have two quick questions for you:
What publishing mix works best for you?
What should I cover more often?
Have something more specific in mind? Just reply to this email and let me know!
Thank you for helping Bio Founder GPS get to where it is today, and for shaping what comes next, I’m truly grateful!
