Innovation Insights: Fundraising – why doing homework on investors matters

What if reaching fewer investors could actually get you more funding? 

When founders start raising investment, many fall into the trap of mass‑emailing hundreds of investors, hoping that wider outreach means higher success. But data shows the opposite: beyond a certain point, contacting more investors doesn’t improve your odds.

In this one-hour session, Daniel Sawko, CEO and Co‑Founder of shipshape.vc, will share how founders can improve their fundraising results by focusing on quality investor relationships rather than volume.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify investors who truly understand your niche
  • Assess a fund’s lifecycle and recent investment activity
  • Target the right people inside each fund
  • Build meaningful, long‑term investor relationships
  • Create the “trendline” investors need to make a confident decision

Agenda:

  • 12:00 – 12:05 Welcome and session introduction

  • 12:05 – 12:50 How to build quality investor relationships

  • 12:50 – 13:00 Q&A and closing remarks
