can run a fast, efficient raise.
Launch in 4 weeks · Close warm intros
AS FEATURED IN:
Investors back builders, not brokers
Trust can’t be outsourced, retainers kill speed, and the funnel math doesn’t add up.
Warm-intro myth
- Warm intros are the strongest filter for investors – but you can’t outsource trust.
- “Introducer” emails from brokers don’t carry weight; founder-to-founder intros do.
- If the introducer can’t vouch first-hand, the “warm” intro turns cold.
Broker dead-end
- Advisors live on monthly retainers, they can’t do founder legwork.
- Retainers drag 6–8 months and rarely deliver, when the best rounds close in 2–3 months.
- Misaligned incentives: low activity while waiting for a success fee.
Math doesn’t work
- Credible raise needs at least 40-50 investor meetings.
- To feed that funnel, a broker would need to have 400+ truly relevant warm funds in your specific niche.
- There’s no broker or agency that can guarantee a round at this scale.

Short FAQ
Do you introduce us to investors?
We don’t sell intros. We engineer them – mapping your warm graph and equipping you to secure credible intros yourself. When there’s a natural fit, we’ll open doors – but the founder leads.
Can you run outreach for us?
We co-pilot the system. You own the founder voice and key touchpoints – because that’s what investors respond to.
How fast is the setup?
Core setup in 2 weeks, then a 4-week sprint to a consistent meeting flow. Designed for 2–3-month raise cycles.
How is this priced?
Free when bundled with full-scale Waveup projects. Stand-alone: $2k one-time for database + rollout. Optional $1k/month for ongoing support.
Who is this for?
Founders raising Pre-seed / Seed who want a repeatable warm-intro flow.
What do we need before we start?
Clear narrative, key metrics, and willingness to execute daily. We’ll help sharpen the story and build the pipeline OS.
