What to Share When You're Raising a Pre-Seed Round

You’ve validated the problem.
You’ve shipped something real.
You’ve got early signals—maybe even early revenue.

Now you’re raising your pre-seed round.

So what should you share on LinkedIn?

Because a fundraising post isn’t just about announcing that you’re raising.
It’s about sparking curiosity, building credibility, and activating your network.

Let’s break down exactly what to say—and how to say it.


🧠 Why Posting Matters When You're Raising

  • Investors do read founder content
  • Warm intros often start from public posts
  • People in your network know investors—they just need the right reason to connect you
  • Fundraising is a momentum game—visibility fuels heat

You’re not pitching in the post. You’re inviting a second look.


✅ What to Include in Your Fundraising Post

1. The “Why Now” Hook

“We’ve spent the last 6 months talking to 42 ops teams. We kept hearing the same thing: Slack’s great, but async alignment still sucks.”

Open with the problem—and why it matters right now.


2. Your Traction Snapshot

“Since launching our MVP 8 weeks ago, 11 teams have adopted it. 4 of them are paid.”

No need to inflate. Signal strength with what you do have.


3. What You're Building

“Relay is a lightweight async check-in tool for remote-first B2B teams who want fewer meetings and more momentum.”

Make it easy to understand. One sentence. No buzzwords.


4. The Raise Itself

“We’re raising a $500K pre-seed to go from early signal to scalable onboarding, hiring, and product velocity.”

Be clear, calm, and confident. Not desperate.


5. The CTA

“If you’re an early-stage investor—or know one who cares deeply about the future of remote work—would love to connect.”

Make the ask. Directly and respectfully.


✍️ Example Post

We’re raising our pre-seed.

After 42 customer calls and 2 rebuilds, we found a pattern:
Remote teams are overwhelmed by meetings, but async tools aren’t cutting it.

So we built Relay—a simple check-in platform that helps fast-moving B2B teams stay aligned without the meeting bloat.

In our first 8 weeks, 11 teams onboarded. 4 converted to paid. Early signs are promising.

We’re now raising $500K to move from signal to scale.

If you’re investing in workflow tools, remote ops, or early-stage SaaS—let’s chat.

Or if you know someone I should be talking to, I’d be grateful for the intro.


🛠️ Tips for Better Fundraising Posts

  • Use numbers. Even early ones.
  • Keep the tone optimistic—but grounded
  • Share your conviction, not your desperation
  • Post updates during the raise—not just at the start
  • Add a comment later with the deck or link

🧠 What Else to Post During a Raise

  • User quotes that validate the problem
  • Screenshots of growth or feedback
  • Lessons from pitching (without naming names)
  • Gratitude posts when intros or meetings happen
  • Progress posts as checks start closing

Keep the story moving. It shows momentum. It builds FOMO.


TL;DR — Post to Attract, Not Pitch

When raising your pre-seed:

  • Lead with clarity
  • Signal traction
  • Ask for conversations, not capital
  • Show up consistently

Your post is not the close. It’s the door opener.
