How to write cold emails to VCs?

Hey makers, From time to time I see questions and discussions here on how to get VC funding. I recently analyzed tips from 30 VCs themselves on how to write a cold email that has a high chance of success. I hope you find them helpful: https://www.flowrite.com/blog/co... Here's the TLDR: 1. Keep it short 2. Keep it simple 3. Do your research 4. Attach a pitch deck upfront 5. Include a strong CTA 6. Don't hesitate to cold email 7. Be specific 8. Proofread 9. Don't waste time 10. Try also other channels Any must-know tips that I missed? Comment below if you have any!

Worst ways to end professional emails?

Lately I've spent a lot of time studying the best practices, etiquette and manners related to effective email communication in order to figure out how to help people write better emails with Flowrite. One of the topics that seems to divide opinions is sign-offs. Some email sign-offs are obviously not very professional, while others carry more nuanced risk of email faux pas. Some people take them very seriously while it seems that others don't pay attention to them at all. These are the most common sign-offs or practices that seems to get cited as unprofessional or risky while doing business: Have a blessed day Love, kisses or similar Thanks in advance No sign-off at all Take care Sent from my iPhone Later Rgrds, thx or similar Br Looking forward to hearing from you Do you recall some other sign-offs or practices that have made you feel negatively about the sender? Would love to update my list of closings we should steer clear of.
