One of the most painful parts of being a founder, is begging for intros or cold-emailing into the abyss trying to get in front of investors Especially if you're an outsider or first time investor. A few months ago, my buddy @julian had a great idea on how to fix that.

When I was applying to college, California came out with the "common app" One application, and you've applied to all UC schools. What if we did that for startups? One pitch, raise your seed round from 15 badass investors? Enter -

If you're going to raise a seed round, you want: - former founders - who have big audiences - who write checks and make decisions fast Why not apply once, and get your idea in front of all 15 at once? No cold emails, no sliding into DMs, no begging for intros

The crew has awesome people: @SahilBloom - thread daddy @rrhoover - product king @CindyBiSV - my favorite angel if you're good, you get distribution (we have millions of followers) and money, fast. Already, 1000+ submissions. We have a team of curating the best ones for us

I think SeedChecks is going to be a big win for founders. Don't waste months fundraising. Push a button and fill your whole round. There are ~15 investors in the seed checks crew, and those are the people I'd want to raise from if I was doing a new startup
