The 4-step playbook
1. Confirm fit
Before spending a minute writing a cold email, make sure your startup matches Nexus Venture Partners's actual focus. If you're outside their thesis, save yourself the rejection.
2. Get a warm intro
Cold inbound to Nexus Venture Partners works occasionally but the conversion is brutal. Find a mutual connection: a portfolio founder, an LP, or a fellow VC who's co-invested with them. LinkedIn's "see who else they're connected with" view is your best tool. If you have no mutuals, build relationships in their community first — comment thoughtfully on their content, attend events they speak at, get on their radar.
3. Tight 10-slide deck + clear ask
Your deck should be 10–12 slides covering: problem, solution, why now, market, traction, business model, team, competition, what you're raising, and the ask. See our pitch deck archive for slide-by-slide breakdowns of famous decks.
4. Follow up like a pro
If they pass, ask for one piece of honest feedback and one referral. Don't argue. Don't beg. Investors talk — and the founders who handle no's gracefully are the ones they remember when their next round opens. Keep Nexus Venture Partners on your update list for 6-month progress mails even after a pass; many funded deals come from second tries.
