Community Round Outreach Templates and Examples for Personalized Investor Communication

Personalized outreach to your existing network—including customers, investors, friends, and family—is essential for a successful Community Round fundraising campaign. The best way to get new investors to participate in your raise is to first capitalize on your existing relationships and connections. To facilitate this, Wefunder provides outreach templates that can be heavily tailored to fit your company's unique mission and tone, as well as customized depending on the recipient. For example, you may want to send a shorter, more concise email to a former boss who is a super busy CEO, while a longer, more detailed message might be better suited for relatives who might have more time to read. Tailoring your message increases the effectiveness of your outreach. There are two main template guides available depending on the stage of your raise process: **Outreach templates for Testing the Waters** — Use these when you are in the initial phase of gauging interest and support from your community. **Outreach templates for after Form C filing** — Use these after you have filed Form C to engage your network for formal investment opportunities. By tailoring your communications and using these guides strategically according to your fundraising phase, you increase your chances of rallying your community and maximizing investment support.
