WealthAi sits at the same intersection but for wealth management, and we are raising at seed with two live reference clients. SKIP RECOMMENDATION: Concept Ventures is strictly pre-seed.

| Playfair Capital | Low | Fund | GBP 750K avg | Chris Smith | WealthAi | Cloud-native Wealth Mgmt Infra | Seed Round | Playfair's backing of Thought Machine proved the cloud-native infrastructure thesis in banking.

| Deciens Capital | Low | Fund | USD 1-3M | Dan Kimerling | WealthAi | Fintech Infrastructure for Wealth | Seed Round | Deciens' concentrated approach to fintech infrastructure, from Treasury Prime in BaaS to Chipper Cash in payments, shows the depth of thesis conviction WealthAi shares. We are building the AI operating system for wealth managers, raising at seed with 2 live reference clients and a £2.6M Y1 TCV pipeline. SKIP RECOMMENDATION: Based in Albuquerque NM (not New York). Geographic focus is US/LatAm/Africa with no UK portfolio companies. Only approach with warm intro to Dan Kimerling. |
| Index Ventures | Low | Fund | USD 1-10M | Jan Hammer | WealthAi | Rebuilding Wealth Mgmt Infra | Seed Round | Index's seed investments in Revolut and Plaid reshaped consumer and infrastructure fintech. WealthAi is applying the same first-principles rebuild to wealth management operations, replacing legacy platforms with an agentic AI system, and we are raising at seed. SKIP RECOMMENDATION: Extremely competitive to access via cold email. Fintech portfolio skews consumer/payments. Only pursue with warm intro to Jan Hammer or fintech partner. Cold outreach ROI very low. |
| Parkwalk Advisors | Low | Fund | GBP 500K-2M | SKIP - DO NOT APPROACH. Parkwalk requires university spinout angle that WealthAi does not have. This is a structural mandate issue, not a thesis preference. |

4. Outreach Methodology
How we run the campaign: format rules, email templates, opening line standards, and qualification approach.
4.1 Open VC Format Rules
| Body under 1,000 characters |
| Subject under 60 characters |
| First name greeting only ("Hi John"). No "Dear" or "Sir/Madam" |
| No apologies for sending the email |
| Simple language describing what WealthAi does |
| Specific numbers, not vague claims ("£2.6M Y1 TCV pipeline" not "impressive traction") |
| Short paragraphs. Use bullet points for traction highlights |
| One link only (pitch deck via DocSend), zero images |
| Confident CTA ("Would you be open to a 20-minute call?"). No meek asks |
| Short signature: name, title, email. No phone, no socials, no legal entities |
| Always sent from @wealthai.tech |
4.2 Email Templates
Template 1: VC Fund Cold Email
Template 2: Angel Cold Email
Template 3: Strategic Investor-Customer
Template 4: Warm Intro / Forwardable
Template 5: Re-Engagement Email
4.3 Opening Line Rules
| # | Rule |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1-2 sentences maximum. Not a paragraph. The email body does the heavy lifting. |
| 2 | Lead with something specific about the investor: portfolio company, stated thesis, recent deal, fund mandate, LinkedIn post. Never generic. |
| 3 | Bridge to WealthAi in the same breath. Pattern: "[their thing] ... WealthAi [is doing the adjacent/relevant thing]." Name WealthAi directly. |
| 4 | Don't repeat the email body. The opening can hint at the thesis but should not restate traction, team, or raise details. |
| 5 | No forced flattery. No "I really admire" or "your impressive portfolio." State the connection factually. |
| 6 | Every opening must be unique. If investors compare notes, Jason should not look like he's copy-pasting. |
Good Examples
- "Your seed investment in Flagstone and Flux shows you back founders rethinking financial services infrastructure. WealthAi is doing the same for wealth management, where legacy platforms still dominate."
- "I noticed Illuminate's focus on enterprise software for financial services. WealthAi sits squarely in that thesis, building the AI OS that wealth managers are actively looking for."
- "Having spent 15 years at UBS running advisory technology, you've seen first-hand how broken the infrastructure is. WealthAi is replacing it."
- "Your work scaling compliance at Nutmeg gave you a front-row seat to the regulatory burden facing wealth firms. That's exactly the problem WealthAi automates."
- "Your backing of PolyAI shows you understand agentic architectures in regulated industries. WealthAi applies the same pattern to wealth management."
- "Running compliance across multiple jurisdictions at [FIRM], you know how much time gets lost to manual monitoring. WealthAi was built to solve that."
- "As a firm managing GBP 500M+ AUM, the admin burden your team carries is exactly the problem our platform eliminates."
Bad Examples (and why)
- "I really admire your work in financial services technology."Generic flattery, could be any startup.
- "Given your track record investing in fintech, I thought I'd reach out."Nothing sentence. Every founder says this.
- "WealthAi is revolutionising wealth management with AI."Leads with WealthAi, not the investor.
- "I noticed you invest in early-stage companies."So does every investor on the list.
