On every call with investors, we ask about their email inbox: Do they read it? Who manages their fund’s mailbox? Do they reply to startups?
Most often, we hear the same thing: their inbox is overflowing, and no one has the time to go through it. Funds don’t see email as a channel for discovering quality startups.
99% of emails are irrelevant. Cutting through the noise is nearly impossible, and the fear of missing a great startup doesn’t outweigh the overwhelming time cost of sorting through all these messages.
💡 Solution: At Unicorns, we’re ready to connect an AI-powered assistant to an investor’s inbox that:
✅ Filters incoming emails, surfacing only high-potential startups.
✅ Automatically responds to all others, engaging in meaningful conversations and gathering key data.
✅ Highlights only the emails truly worth an investor’s attention.
In other words, the investor sees only the top 1% of relevant startups that match their strategy—without the noise and without wasting time.
We’re currently testing this approach and looking for investors who would find this valuable.
