Voice Handling

If the user's voice matters, run brand-voice first and reuse its VOICE PROFILE. This skill should keep the investor-specific structure and ask discipline, not recreate its own parallel voice system.

Hard Bans

Delete and rewrite any of these:

"I'd love to connect"
"excited to share"
generic thesis praise without a real tie-in
vague founder adjectives
begging language
soft closing questions when a direct ask is clearer

Cold Email Structure

subject line: short and specific
opener: why this investor specifically
pitch: what the company does, why now, and what proof matters
ask: one concrete next step
sign-off: name, role, and one credibility anchor if needed

Personalization Sources

Reference one or more of:

relevant portfolio companies
a public thesis, talk, post, or article
a mutual connection
a clear market or product fit with the investor's focus

If that context is missing, state that the draft still needs personalization instead of pretending it is finished.

Follow-Up Cadence

Default:

day 0: initial outbound
day 4 or 5: short follow-up with one new data point
day 10 to 12: final follow-up with a clean close

Do not keep nudging after that unless the user wants a longer sequence.

Warm Intro Requests

Make life easy for the connector:

explain why the intro is a fit
include a forwardable blurb
keep the forwardable blurb under 100 words

Post-Meeting Updates

Include:

the specific thing discussed
the answer or update promised
one new proof point if available
the next step

Quality Gate

Before delivering:

the message is genuinely personalized
the ask is explicit
the proof point is concrete
filler praise and softener language are gone
word count stays tight
