Frequently asked

Does a fashion and beauty startup need a fashion and beauty-focused investor?

No. Most of the 1,422 are generalist funds with a handful of fashion and beauty deals; a focused thesis matters mainly at pre-seed and in capital-intensive sub-sectors. Look for the partner who led the fund's last fashion and beauty deal, not for the word in the fund's name.

How many investors do founders contact to get meetings?

Founders in our Raise Benchmarks reached 45 to 900 investors per round. self.space closed $530K from 10 investors after 126 first meetings. Besample reached 900 investors for 55 first meetings. Fashion and beauty rounds are crowded on both sides, so targeting matters more than volume.

How do I get a warm intro to a fashion and beauty investor?
