Question
I get the gist. Lately we've been fundraising, which includes pinging acquaintances. A few people we've named to meet that they know have asked the questions above. I'm assuming it's so they can easily forward to each person. But am I writing these in their tense or in my tense?
i.e. "Investor Name,
I think you'd be interested in meeting these guys - Acquaintance"
OR
"Aquaintance, we'd like to meet investor X for XYZ reason"
- Me
Answer
When I make this request to folks, I'm always asking for the latter. In particular, what I want is a simple email from them asking me for an intro, giving a reason for wanting the intro, and then quickly explaining their company and why it's a relevant intro. What I do is then forward that email and add my own perspective on top of it of why I think the person and their startup are awesome.
