Today’s episode

Trying to fundraise from an investor that you have no relationship with… that’s tough.

If they don’t know you, they don’t owe you anything. With 100+ other decks sitting on their desk, yours might collect dust for a while.

That’s why we recommend including a “hook”.

Something that will catch the investor’s eye and – hopefully – open your docsend sooner rather than later.

✨ Today's Second Opinion episode: 6 hook templates you can use to cut through the noise.

Here's the episode:

See ya in two weeks!
