How partner enquiries work
How WE reads an enquiry, and how an introduction happens.
An enquiry is read by WE, and WE decides whether to talk further. An introduction to a founder happens only when the founder asks for it.
From enquiry to introduction
-
Send an enquiry
Use the enquiry form and say what the organization provides to founders and on what terms.
-
WE reads it
WE reads each enquiry and decides whether to talk further.
-
WE replies if it talks further
WE writes to the email address in the enquiry.
-
Terms are written down
Before any introduction, the terms a founder would see are written down.
-
A founder asks first
WE introduces a partner to a founder only when the founder asks for help in that category and agrees to the introduction.
What an enquiry should contain
WE reads the enquiry as written, so it should say these things.
- The name of the organization and its website.
- The category that fits what it provides.
- What the organization provides to founders.
- The terms a founder would see, including who qualifies and what it costs.
- Anything a founder should know before asking for an introduction.
What WE does not promise
- An enquiry creates no partnership, no referral arrangement and no commitment on either side.
- WE does not state a response time on this site.
- WE does not promise a partner a meeting, a reply, an introduction or a place on this site.
- WE names no partner on this site until a written record exists.
Ask about partnering with WE
Describe your organization and what you offer to early-stage companies. This is an enquiry, not a commitment from either side.
