Subject: [My company name] Updates to [Fund Name]

Hi <phv><associate><phv>

I am a founder of <phv><insert company name><phv>.

I’m writing with a quick ask: My company sends out email updates on our progress and highlights when we hit key milestones, and I would be grateful if I could include you in the recipient list (which is always bcc’d).

I’d love for you to get to know our company early, before we start looking to raise money, as there could one day be a good fit for us to discuss a potential investment, based on my understanding of your fund’s thesis, sector, geo, and check size.

By way of background, we’re a <phv><location><phv>-based company that <phv><short description><phv>. We’re <phv><age><phv>, we’ve raised <phv><$><phv> in seed funding, and have <phv><most impressive result><phv>. Over the next few months we expect to <phv><ambitious, but achievable goal><phv>.

Would you please let me know if you have any objection to us sending you our update?

Best,

‍
