Cold emails investors actually answer.

Honest answer: cold outreach is a numbers game, and anyone promising you meetings is lying. Founders with real traction typically see response rates around 20%, and 3-5 booked meetings per 100 emails sent. Pre-traction founders should expect a 1-2% response rate. And 100 emails is a small sample: a real fundraise usually takes 300-600+ emails. We give you the best possible targeting and writing, and we are upfront that what happens after the email lands depends on your startup.

You can absolutely use HeyEveryone pre-traction, and we will match you with investors who fund your stage. But we set expectations honestly, in the product and here: with minimal traction, response rates are usually 1-2%, because that is how investors behave, not because of the emails. If you are pre-product, it may be worth waiting until you have something to show.

Any paid plan unlocks all of your matched investors and their verified emails immediately. Credits are only spent on writing: 1 credit = 1 AI-personalized email. That covers a new email for an investor, a rewrite if you want a different angle, or a follow-up. Editing an email yourself is always free, and sending is always free. Credits refresh every month with your plan, and you can top up anytime from $29 if you run out mid-campaign.

Two things ChatGPT cannot do. First, the data: ask it for seed investors in your sector and it will invent names, mix up theses, and cite funds that stopped investing years ago. Our database covers 200,000+ investors with thesis data collected from VC firm websites. Second, the time: finding emails, researching each investor, and writing personal emails takes 45 minutes per investor. Per 100 investors, that is 75+ hours of work. Here it takes about 15 minutes, and you still review every email before it sends.

You see your matches before you pay a cent: the free preview shows your top 10 matched investors. If the matches look wrong, you can edit your Company Profile and re-run matching. And if genuinely nothing fits (it happens with very niche sectors or geographies), you have lost nothing but 10 minutes.

No, and that is deliberate. Emails send from your own Gmail or Outlook account, connected securely via OAuth, so replies land in your inbox and investors see a real founder writing to them, not a tool. Nothing ever sends without your approval, and sending is rate-limited to protect your email reputation.

Your Company Profile data is used for exactly two things: matching you with investors and writing your emails. We do not sell or share it. Email sending happens through your own account via OAuth, and you can disconnect it anytime in Settings.

If you subscribed and have not spent any credits, contact us within 14 days and we will refund you in full. Once credits are spent on generated emails, we cannot refund those, but you can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of your billing period. No lock-in, no cancellation fees.

From VC firm websites, where investors publish their own thesis: what stages, sectors, and geographies they invest in. We collect and update it continuously. That is different from third-party databases, which aggregate second-hand data, and from AI chatbots, which make things up.

Sure. Fill out your Company Profile and see your matches free. When you start raising, your matches are ready, and you can re-run matching to refresh them against your latest traction.
