Hi, [Investor],
[This is a lovely test note as if from Nancy to an investor, reaching out to let them know about a flow or two, and to offer to help connect them to another like-minded investor.]
[This is the poignant yet heartwarming body of the note.]
There are two deals that match your interests [I’m unsure whether to have a short bullet on each as follows, or to just list their names and point to full details below the signature. Thoughts?]:
- Geossy — Ugandan fish farm raising $50K to scale operations and meet existing customer demand for sustainably raised and harvested tilapia. Lead = Luni Libes, who’s in for $10K. Total raised to date: $35K.
- East Africa Fruits — Largest fruit and vegetable aggregator in Tanzania seeking $250K to expand refrigeration capacity in order to fulfill a growing pipeline of orders. Increasing income to smallholder farmers while eliminating supply chain gaps. Lead = Jim Davidson, who’s in for $50K. Total raised to date: $100K.
There are two investors whose interests closely match yours. Would you like us to help connect you to them?
- Janine Firpo— [copy of Excerpt description and areas of shared interest?]
- Fraser Black — [copy of Excerpt description and areas of shared interest?]
[Here’s Nancy’s witty closing that inspires the investor to take action and invite other impact investors to join.]
Best regards,

[Here are a couple of flows, laid out beautifully and made to look as if they were automatically generated rather than compiled by a monkey behind the curtain.]
Evernu Recycles Cotton!
I came across this company at SOCAP. They have a technology that makes cotton recyclable. Levi’s announced a partnership in May. The announcement from Target is due this quarter. This is a breakthrough the world desperately needs.
I’m in for $100,000. Are you with me?
Below is Stacy Flynn, the CEO, telling the story; the pitch deck; 1-sheet; and term sheet. It’s a Series Seed, $750,000, $5 million pre, more than half committed.
