You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Build an Angel Investor Network from Zero.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I am a first-time founder with no investor connections. My startup: {{describe}}. My city: {{city}}. My sector: {{sector}}. Do I need to be in a major metro to raise from angels, or can I raise from Tier 2?
- Step 2: Map the Indian angel ecosystem: Which networks are most active for my sector? (Indian Angel Network, Mumbai Angels, LetsVenture, Ah! Ventures, AngelList India, Huddle, etc.) How do I get in front of each one?
- Step 3: Design my relationship-building plan: 90-day calendar — which events to attend, which accelerator demo days to pitch at, which WhatsApp/Telegram groups to join, which communities to contribute to.
- Step 4: Write a warm introduction request template to send to mutual connections when asking for investor intros (100 words, specific, respectful, easy to forward).
- Step 5: Create a 'social proof building' plan: How to use LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and founder communities to build visibility so that inbound investor interest begins organically.

# Goal

- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you're starting to think about fundraising with zero investor network — build the pipeline before you need it.

PRO TIP

The best time to build investor relationships is 6 months before you need the money. The second best time is now. Investors fund founders they know, like, and trust — and that takes time to build.
