There's no secret to reaching investors.
So I published mine.
Earned Room: getting in front of investors who actually fit. By hand, one at a time.
I'm Jude. I build and run the machine that gets founders funded, the targeting, the research, the emails, the follow-ups, the meetings on your calendar. And I don't hide any of it. The entire method is on this page and in the published playbook, step by step.
Read it. Run it yourself if you want. Or let me run it for you.
We work with founders, agencies, and startups who are building the future of their industry and need the infrastructure to get there.
I've watched too many good founders lose months to a raise that was broken before it started.
Not because their company was bad. Because they were pitching the wrong investors, with the wrong message, through the wrong channel, and nobody told them. Here's what that actually looks like, side by side with how I run it instead.
This is exactly what I'd do with your raise. Watch.
Most people in this space keep the method vague so you have to pay to find out. I do the opposite, here's the actual process, on a real scenario, step by step. If you can run it yourself, run it. If you'd rather it just gets done, that's what I'm here for.
Say you're a growth-stage B2B founder with 8 months of runway.
You need investors who actually fund your industry, at your stage, in your region, and you need them now. Here's the run:
- 01Diagnose first. "I need investors" hides four different problems, meetings that don't close, no meetings at all, local capital that dried up, or a burned warm network. Each needs a different fix, so I find out which one is yours before anything gets built.
- 02Source by behaviour, not bios. I pull every investor who actually funded companies like yours in the last 18 months, plus the ones whose portfolio company in your space already exited, and the ones active in your sector but missing your niche.
- 03Kill-filter hard. Wrong geography, portfolio conflict, wrong stage, or a stated thesis that doesn't match their real funding behaviour, cut. A hundred right names beat five thousand wrong ones.
- 04Research every single one. The standard for every email: it could only have been written to this one person. Short, human, specific.
- 05Launch on real infrastructure. Separate pre-warmed sending domains, small batches, deck tracking that tells us who's actually reading, and follow-ups driven by what each investor does, not a timer.
- 06You step in at the end. Qualified investors book directly onto your calendar. Your job is the term-sheet conversation. Mine is everything before it.
And if you're just starting and honestly don't know what to do next...
I ask you one question before anything else, because it changes the whole build:
Most early founders assume it's investors. Half the time, it isn't. Ten users who genuinely need your product will do more for your raise later than any deck edit ever will.
- 01If it's users: the same machine points at customers instead. 50-100 companies that fit exactly, non-buyers filtered out, and founder-to-operator notes that read like you, not a sales team.
- 02If it's investors: we run the exact process on the left, tuned to pre-seed, angels and micro-funds that actually write first checks in your space, in your region.
- 03Either way, you're not guessing anymore. The whole beginner path, what to build, who to talk to, when to raise, is written out in full on this site. Free.
The 6-Step Investor Process
This is the same machine from the examples above, formalised. Every campaign I run goes through these six steps, no shortcuts, no mystery.
Target List
We do not pull generic investor directories. We research recent fund raises, thesis fits, and open capital to hand build a list of 500 investors who are actually in a position to write a check.
Warm Up
Before we send a single cold email, we build your presence on LinkedIn and in content so investors already recognise your name when the outreach lands.
Sniper Execution
Multi channel rollout. We manage 10+ sending domains so emails actually land in the inbox, not spam. You reach 10x more investors without looking like a blast.
Objection Handling
Every reply gets read. Pushback on traction? Valuation concerns? The follow up sequence adjusts automatically to address what the investor actually said.
The Handshake
Meetings booked directly onto your calendar. No back and forth. You step in only when an investor is ready to have a real conversation about terms.
Iteration
What worked gets amplified. We track which angles, subject lines, and sequences drove the most interest and double down on those.
Startups that worked on their raise. And closed it.
"OpenAI, Canva, Anthropic, Ramp, and Rippling use Clay's GTM development environment..."
The raises below are publicly reported rounds, every card links to the original press announcement so you can verify it yourself. We feature them because this is exactly the class of raise that systematic, infrastructure-driven outreach closes.
Reflect Orbital
To fund the development and launch of their first orbital mirror satellite, Eärendil-1, to sell sunlight to solar farms after dark.
Swift Solar
Scaling the manufacturing of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.
Vesta
Mortgage infrastructure SaaS enabling seamless originations.
Beyond The Raise: Scaling AI Operations
Raising capital is step one. Deploying it efficiently is step two. We serve as your fractional AI infrastructure team, deploying Autonomous Support Agents, Client Onboarding Workflows, and Internal System Automations so your new capital goes into growth, not salaries.
Bandwidth for your founding team
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for founders and agencies. Working with us is a significant decision. Here's what people usually ask first.
A consultant gives you advice. We build and run the actual outreach system. The targeting, the emails, the follow-ups, the objection handling. We hand you meetings. You stay focused on your company. We run the raise.
Most clients see their first replies within 7 to 14 days of launch. Qualified meetings typically start booking in weeks 3 to 6 depending on your round size and sector. We don't do slow burns. The system is built for speed.
You need a clear thesis and a deck. We handle everything from that point. We don't build your pitch, but we put it in front of the right people, at the right time, in the right way.
We work with pre-seed through Series B founders raising between $500K and $20M+. Industry-agnostic. If there are investors who fund your space, we can reach them. We've worked across SaaS, cleantech, fintech, AI infrastructure, and more.
You scope the project with your client. We build the AI system using n8n, Make, using Claude or custom stacks, under your brand. Your client never knows we exist. We deliver the build with full SOPs so their team can actually run it. You keep the client relationship and the margin.
Every message is personalised to the specific investor's thesis and recent activity. We don't spray. We research, we personalise, and we only reach out to investors who are actually in a position to write a check at your stage. The quality of the outreach protects your reputation. It doesn't risk it.
Earned Room, in brief
Earned Room helps founders raise pre-seed, seed, Series A, and Series B funding by building and running the complete investor outreach system, from mapping 500 active investors to booking meetings on your calendar. Using Clay, n8n, and AI personalisation, 6 months of manual outreach becomes 90 days of precision execution.
The average founder spends 6 months on manual investor outreach before getting a term sheet. Earned Room compresses that to 90 days using a 6-step system: targeted investor research, LinkedIn warm-up, multi-channel outreach, AI-powered objection handling, direct calendar booking, and data-driven iteration.
Earned Room has influenced 70+ businesses and supported 12+ startup fundraises over 4 years. The raises featured on the site: Reflect Orbital's $20M Series A led by Lux Capital, Swift Solar's $27M Series A, and Vesta's $30M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, are publicly reported rounds shown as examples of what systematic outreach closes. Clay.com, the GTM platform Earned Room builds on, publicly counts OpenAI, Canva, Anthropic, Ramp, and Rippling among its users.
After raising capital, Earned Room acts as a fractional AI infrastructure team. Systems deployed include autonomous support agents, client onboarding workflows, automated SDRs, AI voice agents via Vapi AI and Twilio, dynamic CRMs, and content pipelines, so new capital goes into growth, not salaries.
Make better decisions with clarity and confidence.
Founders and agencies come to Earned Room to turn complexity into systems that work predictably, without burning out their team or their runway.
