1️⃣ Funding Data Means Nothing If You Don’t Use It
You don’t win by knowing which startups raised money - you win by talking to them.
Every line of data in Revli represents someone with a new budget, a fresh plan, and pressure to perform.
The goal isn’t to stare at the dashboard.
It’s to start conversations while that momentum is still fresh.
2️⃣ Find the Right Targets (Fast)
Start with the filters from the last article - funding recency, company size, missing roles, hiring activity.
That’s your starting point.
Now, pull 30–50 of those startups into your weekly outreach list.
This is your live deal flow, not a static list.
Each week, new names go in — some will convert, some will circle back later.
3️⃣ Craft Outreach That Feels Relevant ✉️
Your message should answer one question:
“Why are you reaching out to me, right now?”
Simple structure:
Mention their recent funding or hiring signal.
Acknowledge what that likely means (“you’re scaling fast” / “building out sales”).
Position your offer as a way to accelerate what they’re already doing.
Example:
“Congrats on the new round - exciting stage. I saw you’re adding sales roles, which usually means the next focus is pipeline. We help teams like yours fill the top of funnel quickly after funding.”
No fluff. Just timing, relevance, and value.
4️⃣ The Two Types of Founders (and Why You Follow Up) 🔁
You’ll meet two kinds of founders after a funding round:
Those who know they need help immediately.
They start looking for partners as soon as the wire hits.
Those who think they can do everything themselves.
They plan to hire, build, and execute in-house.
Two or three months later, things aren’t going as planned - hiring’s slower, growth’s behind, and investor pressure is mounting.
We’ve seen this pattern again and again: users reach out, get a polite “we’re covered,” and then weeks later that same founder comes back asking if they can still help.
👉 That’s why giving up after one email is a mistake.
Follow up.
Even if someone says “no,” it’s okay to check in later - “Hey, just checking in - how’s growth looking since the raise?”
Circumstances change fast when investors are expecting results.
5️⃣ Use the Right Follow-Up Cadence ⏰
Think of your outreach as a conversation over time, not a one-off pitch.
Recommended rhythm:
Day 1: Initial message (funding-based context)
Day 3–5: Quick follow-up (“just wanted to make sure this reached you”)
Day 10–14: New angle (different pain point or case study)
Month 2 or 3: Re-engagement (“checking in - we spoke right after your round; curious how things are scaling now”)
You’re not pestering - you’re staying top-of-mind for when the “we’ve got it covered” crowd realizes they don’t.
6️⃣ Build a Weekly System That Scales ⚙️
The best Revli users don’t rely on luck - they run a repeatable machine.
Each Monday → pull new funded startups from Revli.
Apply your saved filters.
Add 30–50 prospects to your weekly list.
Send personalized first messages.
Schedule your automated or manual follow-ups.
Log responses → learn which filters and messages drive meetings.
Do it weekly and you’ll never have a dry pipeline again.
7️⃣ Your Next Step ✅
Open Revli → select Funding Insights → build your weekly outreach list → send your first 10 messages today.
Then, make sure every lead gets at least three touches over the next few weeks.
💡 Most meetings don’t happen on message #1 - they happen after you’ve stayed consistent.
Remember:
Founders just raised money, made big promises, and now they have to deliver fast.
Your job is to reach out early, stay on their radar, and be the one they think of when they finally realize they need help.
