- 01How long should a LinkedIn message to an investor be?
- The connection note is capped at 300 characters. The follow-up DM should stay under 100 words, two short paragraphs and a sign-off. This tool outputs both.
- 02When do I use the connection note vs the full message?
- Paste the connection note when you send a connection request. After they accept, send the longer message in LinkedIn chat. If you are already connected, skip the note and use the message only.
- 03Should I mention my raise amount on LinkedIn?
- Optional. If you add an amount in the form, it appears in both drafts in a readable format (for example ₹2.5 Cr). If you leave it blank, the copy stays round-only with no invented numbers.
- 04How do I pick the right investor on LinkedIn?
- Search the partner in the investor directory, confirm stage and sector on the funds list, then connect with a note that references one real overlap.
- 05Is cold LinkedIn outreach okay in India?
- Yes, if it is specific and short. Generic “looking for funding” requests get ignored. One line on what you build, one proof point if you have it, and a clear ask for 15 minutes works better than a pitch deck link in the first touch.
- 06Do I need a VC Dekho account?
- No to generate the draft. A free account gives you 5 email unlocks a day across 1,662 profiles when you are ready to email. See pricing for limits.
- 07Can VC Dekho send LinkedIn messages for me?
- No. Copy the text into LinkedIn yourself. The tool does not connect to your LinkedIn account.
- 08What should a LinkedIn connection request to a VC say?
- Who you are, what you build, and one reason this partner fits, inside 300 characters. Do not paste a raise amount or a deck link in the connection note. Save that for the message after they accept.
- 09Is LinkedIn better than email for Indian VCs?
- Often for the first touch. Many partners read LinkedIn with less noise than their inbox. Use the note to get accepted, then a short DM. When you have a work email, send the cold email as well.
- 10What about the email tool?
- Use the outreach email generator when you have a work email. Many founders use LinkedIn first, then email after a reply.
