The AI Engineer’s Guide to Raising VC
summary
Shows exact templates and artifacts: real cold emails that got replies, real term sheet language, and an original seed deck at deck.jam.dev; claims that pre-seed/seed investors will back teams without revenue or even a product and often prefer early potential; gives practical signals—LinkedIn content as warm intro, design partners, customer interview counts, ICP and monetization hypotheses, hiring plan—and explains saving the slide deck for followup. Includes a concrete user datapoint (Jam 65,000+ users) and reproducible outreach phrasing.
