Find and reach investors in your network

Network

Network lists every investor HeyIntro found in your LinkedIn network.

• Use All investors, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd to filter by degree.
• Switch between List and Tree to see the connections as a table or as a diagram of who knows whom.
• Search with Search your network.

Each row shows the investor, their degree, How you're connected, their Fit for your raise (High, Medium, or Low), and their recent deals.

Find investors

Find investors searches all of HeyInvest's investors, not just the ones in your network. Type what you're looking for in plain words, for example "Seed angels in New York who back AI and media", and click Search. You can narrow the results by type, sector, stage, and location.

Results are sorted by warmest path first, then by fit. Not connected shows investors with no path through your network.

Investor profiles

Click an investor to see their profile:

• How you're connected shows the best path to them, and any other paths. Click Use this path to pick a different mutual connection.
• Portfolio shows what they've invested in.
• Contact lets you unlock their email (1 credit) or phone (9 credits) from HeyInvest's database, when we have them.

Message an investor

1. Click Message next to an investor (or Connect if you aren't connected yet).
2. HeyIntro drafts the message for you. Edit it, or click Redraft for a new version.
3. Optionally, turn on Follow up if no reply. HeyIntro sends one follow-up if they don't reply.
4. Click Send to (or Send request).

What happens next depends on how you're connected:

• 1st degree, or someone you've messaged before: the message goes straight to their LinkedIn inbox.
• Not connected yet: HeyIntro sends a connection request with a short note (up to 300 characters, or 200 on a free LinkedIn account). When they accept, your message follows a few hours later. Requests that aren't accepted within 14 days are withdrawn.

Messages to 2nd and 3rd degree investors automatically mention your mutual connection by name, with their LinkedIn link.

Click Save as template to reuse your wording next time.

Ask a mutual connection for an intro

1. Open the investor, or select them in Network.
2. Click Ask {name} instead in the message window, or select several investors and click Ask mutuals for intros.
3. Write a message to your mutual, and a short note (up to 400 characters) they can forward to the investor.
4. Click Send.

If the mutual is a teammate in your HeyInvest workspace, the request arrives in HeyInvest instead of on LinkedIn, with your message ready to forward.

Message several investors at once

Select investors in Network and click Message N investors. HeyIntro opens each one in turn so you can review it. Click Skip or Next investor to move on.
