How do founders get warm intros?
Founders get warm intros by tapping into their extended network: investors, advisors, operators, past colleagues, and team connections. The best founders don’t rely on brute force cold outreach. They identify the warmest path, ask the right person once, and make it easy for them to forward the blurb.
The traditional way: scrolling LinkedIn, DMing people manually, and guessing who to ask.
The modern way: using a relationship-intelligence tool to instantly see the strongest warm path and send a clean, forwardable intro request.
Why warm intros work
A credible handoff instantly boosts trust. Response rates jump. Deal cycles shorten. And you avoid the random “trying my luck” emails that make outreach feel like a chore.
