Warm Intro Finder

Your Next Investor Is
One Intro Away

Connect Gmail and LinkedIn once to see who can introduce you to any investor, and why they are the right person to ask.

Find intros in one click

Without Intro Finder, you search LinkedIn and old threads one investor at a time. With it, every warm path on your list shows up at once.

From inbox to investor intro

Set it up once. Intro Finder does the digging. You make the ask.

Connect Gmail and LinkedIn

Connecting takes a few clicks. We scan your network in the background and email you when it's ready.

See your intros at a glance

Every investor on your list shows how many intros you have, so you know where to start.

Every path shows why it works: a shared company, a past investment, or how often you talk.

Request an investor intro

Hit them up via LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp or over a coffee, and ask for an intro in your own words.

“Huge shoutout to @OpenVC_! Intro Finder showed my old manager knew the partner at our dream fund. Call booked the same week.”

Common questions

Look for someone the investor already trusts: a portfolio founder, another investor, or a shared connection, who can vouch for you before you ever email them. OpenVC's Intro Finder does this automatically, surfacing your mutual connections to any investor on your list instead of you searching LinkedIn one by one.

Yes. OpenVC's Intro Finder scans your network and shows you which investors on your list you already have a path to, instead of manually checking LinkedIn or old email threads for each one. It surfaces every warm path at once, so you know exactly who to ask for an intro before you send a single cold email.

Warm intros convert significantly better, commonly cited data puts it around 13x higher odds of funding than cold outreach. The reason is trust: an intro from someone the investor already respects skips the "is this legitimate" filter a cold email has to earn on its own. That said, cold outreach still works when warm paths don't exist, it's just the harder route.

No, but a warm intro dramatically improves your odds. It skips the trust an investor would otherwise have to build from scratch, so your deck gets read with less skepticism and your meeting gets booked faster. Cold outreach can still work at the seed stage, but if you have a warm path available, it's almost always the stronger move.

Check your LinkedIn connections against the investor's network, or look at who else has invested alongside them and whether you know any of those people. This gets tedious fast once you're tracking more than a handful of investors, which is exactly what OpenVC's Intro Finder is built to automate, it checks your whole investor list against your network at once instead of one search at a time.

A tool that automatically finds mutual connections between you and investors by scanning your existing network, so you can ask for an introduction instead of emailing cold.

No. We surface the pathway, you reach out yourself, through whatever channel fits that relationship.

Yes, inviting them brings their network into the search, and they get access to the shared OpenVC account.

We read metadata only, never email content. Handled through GDPR/CCPA-compliant partners, kept separate from our investor database, and never resold.

Yes. There's no free-plan access to Intro Finder. Premium is $99 a month or $299 a year, and you can cancel anytime.
