It notes that the fundraising process has become like an enterprise sale with increased competition on both sides. It recommends building a funnel by creating a list of 500-1000 VC funds and sending 2000-5000 direct messages and 8000-20000 cold emails in 3-5 waves. Metrics like delivery rate, open rate, and positive answer rate should be tracked.
