One of the hardest parts of fundraising is not just finding investors, but finding the right ones. There are so many VCs, angels, and micro-funds, but not all of them invest in the same stage or sector. I often see founders waste a lot of time pitching to investors who were never a fit in the first place. It makes the process feel inefficient and discouraging.

So I’m wondering how experienced founders actually filter and select investors before reaching out. Do they follow a structured process, or is it mostly based on personal research and experience?

Would be great to understand how people avoid wasting time on irrelevant outreach.
