The worst startup ask of all time: “Can you see if you know any investors who might be interested in our company?”
You didn’t do the basic homework to know which specific investors fit your business and if I have any connection to them (eg I’m an LP in their fund or know them personally). It’s vague and not respectful of my time.
Every ask you make uses up credibility / karma points, which are limited currencies. So don’t spend them on some lame, lazy asks!
