Three-email follow-up cadence after a cold email or first meeting — day 5, day 12, day 21 (break-up). Builds momentum without nagging.
Your generated result will appear here.
Don't repeat the original ask. Each follow-up should bring news (a customer, a hire, a milestone).
Investors skim. Long follow-ups signal desperation.
Past three, you damage the relationship. Move on; come back in 6 months when there's real news.
One follow-up rarely works. Five+ follow-ups annoy. Three is the sweet spot — and each should hit a different angle: new info → value-add → break-up.
This tool generates the full 3-email sequence with subject-line options for each.
Investors get hundreds of cold emails. Yours competes for attention with every other founder following up that week. The break-up email (day 21) often outperforms the others because it removes pressure — many founders close their conversation there, others get the meeting.
