When the user wants to write an email to an investor — cold outreach, warm intro request, follow-up after a meeting, monthly investor update, or thank-you note. Also activates for "intro email", "investor email", "follow up with VC", or "investor update".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Fundraising Email

## When to Use

- The founder needs to write a cold outreach email to an investor.
- The founder wants to draft a warm intro request (a "forwardable email").
- The founder needs a follow-up after an investor meeting.
- The founder is writing a monthly investor update.
- The founder wants to send a thank-you or round-closing notification.

## Context Required

From `startup-context`: company one-liner, stage, key traction metrics, fundraising status, and any notable social proof (investors, customers, press).

From the user: email type, recipient (investor name and firm), prior relationship context, and desired outcome (meeting, intro, materials review).

## Workflow

1. **Read startup context** — Pull the company narrative, metrics, and fundraising details from `.agents/startup-context.md`.
2. **Determine email type** — Classify as one of the five types below. Each has different structure, tone, and length.
3. **Draft the email** — Follow the type-specific template. Keep it short — investors scan, they don't read.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maudeunfledged834/startup-founder-skills/fundraising-email@sha256:89e917ec1d863f80

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260403.b0c6483, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
