Skill-Inhalt
Produces a verified, hyper-personalized investor outreach report for any startup. Every investor
fact is sourced from real web searches. Every email references something the investor actually said,
did, or invested in. No synthetic data. No made-up quotes.
What This Skill Produces
For each of 6 matched investors:
Investor profile — name, role, firm, thesis, why they fit this startup specifically
Verified match signals — real portfolio companies, real public statements, real fund announcements
Hyper-personalized cold email — subject line and body referencing verified facts only
Outreach email list — all 6 in Name <email> format for direct paste into Gmail or CRM
Email quality notes — what was verified vs what to double-check before sending
Any recent fund announcement or investment that is directly relevant
CRITICAL: If you cannot find a verified fact for an investor, say so explicitly.
Do not invent portfolio companies. Do not fabricate quotes. Do not guess at investments.
If research comes back thin, note "limited public information found" and write a more
general but still honest email.
Step 4 — Write hyper-personalized emails
Write one cold email per investor. Follow all of these rules precisely:
TONE:
Warm, direct, conversational. Two smart people talking over coffee.
Simple English. Short sentences. No jargon, no buzzwords.
No dashes anywhere. Not em dashes, not hyphens as pauses. Use commas or periods instead.
No bullet points in the email body. Pure flowing prose.
The investor should genuinely enjoy reading this.
STRUCTURE (4 paragraphs, 130 to 160 words total):
Paragraph 1: Open with a VERIFIED specific observation about this investor. Name a real portfolio
company they backed, quote something they actually wrote or said publicly, or reference a real
investment or fund announcement. Make it clear you have done your homework. Then connect
naturally to this startup in one sentence. Do not force the pivot.
Paragraph 2: Share 2 to 3 concrete proof points about the startup with real numbers or named
customers. Pull these from the website research in Step 1. Do not invent figures. If the startup
has limited public traction data, focus on the product, technology differentiation, or market size.
Paragraph 3: The bigger picture. This is not just about returns. Show how backing this company
shapes an industry, defines a category, or solves a problem that matters beyond revenue. Give
the investor a reason to feel proud of this bet, not just rich.
Paragraph 4: A warm, specific ask. "Would a short call next week work?" or "Happy to share more
if this resonates." Sign off with founder name and title only. Nothing else.
SUBJECT LINE:
Conversational. Feels like a person wrote it.
References a specific portfolio company or a real shared idea.
Max 9 words. No punctuation gimmicks. No dashes.
Step 5 — Format and present the report
Present the full report in the chat in this order:
One-line summary of the startup (what you learned from the website)
For each of the 6 investors:
Name, role, firm
Tags: [Sector focus] · [Stage] · [Geography]
Why they fit (2 sentences grounded in verified research)
Sources used (what you actually found and searched)
Check the firm's website for a standard format (e.g. [email protected])
Check Hunter.io format if the domain is known
Note confidence level: HIGH (confirmed format), MEDIUM (inferred from firm convention), LOW (guessed)
Always flag LOW confidence emails so the user knows to verify before sending.
Recommend Hunter.io or Apollo.io for verification.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Research mistakes:
Do not write an email referencing a portfolio company without confirming via search that this investor actually backed it
Do not quote an investor without a source URL or publication
Do not assume fund size, check size, or stage without a public source
Do not pick investors just because they are famous, pick them because they fit
Email mistakes:
Do not open with "I" or "We" — open with the investor
Do not use em dashes anywhere
Do not list traction figures that are not verified from the website or user-provided context
Do not use words like "revolutionary", "transformative", "cutting-edge", "game-changing"
Do not end with "I would love to connect" — be specific about the ask
Tone mistakes:
Write like a founder who has done their homework, not a PR agency
The email should feel like it was written by a human who read the investor's blog last week
Avoid any sentence that could appear in a template or be sent to 100 people unchanged

Notes on Meridian
This skill is the research and writing engine behind Meridian, an investor intelligence tool
built by Aviskaar. When this skill runs well, every email feels like it was written by someone
who has been following the investor for months, not generated in seconds. That is the bar.
The difference between a reply and a delete is whether the investor believes you actually
know them. Make them believe it, because you did the research to earn it.
