Micro-VCs are small teams, often one to three partners, who see hundreds of decks a month. A short, specific pitch through the route they ask for beats a long deck sent everywhere.
Check the fit first
Stage, sector and cheque size. If a fund writes ₹2 crore cheques, don't pitch them a ₹40 crore round.
Look at their last deals
Name one portfolio company you admire in your note. It shows you did the work.
Use their route
Fill the form or email the address they publish. If there's none, find a founder they backed.
Follow up once
After about ten working days, send one short update with a new number. Then move on.
01
What to send
One line on what you do, for whom.
Three numbers: revenue or users, growth, and what you're raising.
Why now and why your team, in two sentences.
A deck link, ideally 10 to 12 slides, view-only.
02
Getting a warm intro
Ask a founder from their portfolio. Each fund page lists some.
Angels and operators who co-invest with the fund also work.
Make it easy: send a forwardable email the person can pass on as it is.
03
Avoid
Mass emails with every fund in the To line.
Decks that need a password, a download or a sign-up to open.
Pitching a fund whose last deal was years ago before checking it's still investing.
