What is the best way to get a VC's attention?

Having worked with VCs, equity funds and angel investors, this is my perspective. Try to get a warm introduction from someone who knows the VC or is connected to them. If you can’t get a warm introduction craft a compelling cold email pitch. VCs build their portfolio with an eye on the value creation and exit opportunities for each company, as well as the overall portfolio performance and returns. Therefore, to grab the attention of a VC, founders should: • Showcase your deep understanding of the customer needs, pain points, and willingness to pay, as well as the competitive landscape and differentiation factors. Show how your product solves a real and large problem for a specific and sizable market. • Showcase strong traction and growth potential, using relevant and verifiable metrics such as revenue, users, retention, engagement, unit economics, and customer satisfaction. • Articulate a realistic and attractive exit strategy, showing how you plan to deliver a high return on investment for the VC and the LPs

Personally a lot of VC have reached me out via email and LinkedIn -> Write about your product and traction numbers over public channels.

Network, network, network! 🤝 Personal introductions or warm leads from trusted industry contacts can often get your foot in the door faster than cold outreach. Attend industry events, webinars, and join communities where VCs hang out.

Hype, I believe? Besides metrics/traction/etc.

I would say, traction that you can show, but you need to be able to show it, so being active on the groups and social media, while having traction. By traction I mean PAYING CUSTOMERS most of the time, especially in today environment

Drop me a message with your product. I know a VC from Y combinator. I will send him.

Scale a bit before meeting them... You'd have proof of market and then better negotiating power. Also then network network and create content to have a decent following
