# Start-Up Funding Email Campaigns The Weekly.vc Helps Startups Get Funding Through Email Networking By Grace Mahas | Published 2019-09-18 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-weeklyvc References: [betalist](https://betalist.com/startups/weekly-vc) & [weekly.vc](https://weekly.vc/?ref=betalist) The Weekly.vc helps both investors and start-ups connect with one another to [raise funding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/socapai) through a weekly newsletter that's filled with anonymous requests for pitches. If a start-up sees a request for a pitch that's viable for its company, it can reply to the email and get in contact with either an [angel investor or venture capitalist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blobfish-ai). For example, a start-up subscribed to the Weekly.vc may receive an email stating "investing in women's hair products at the seed stage" with the size of the investment and investor type. The start-up will then send along information such as its [pitch deck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/editapp), demo, acquisition numbers, and past funding information. In addition, if an investor rejects a pitch, the Weekly.vc will share their feedback with the client allowing them to improve their future pitches. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Email Marketing for Start-up Funding:** There's an opportunity for start-up marketing and communication firms to provide comprehensive email marketing services for start-ups looking for funding. - **Anonymous Networking for Start-up Funding:** There's an opportunity for technology companies to create an anonymous network similar to that of the Weekly.vc for investors and start-ups to connect with each other and secure funding with ease. - **Feedback-aided Pitching for Start-up Funding:** There's an opportunity for companies to provide start-ups with pitching opportunities where investor feedback is shared, allowing for improvements in future pitches and a better chance at securing funding. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Marketing and Communication:** Marketing and communication firms can take advantage of the opportunity to provide start-ups with email marketing services specifically targeted towards acquiring funding. - **Technology:** Technology companies can create an anonymous network similar to that of the Weekly.vc, allowing investors and start-ups to connect with each other and secure funding with ease. - **Startup Consulting:** Startup consulting firms can provide their clients with pitching opportunities where investor feedback is shared, allowing for improvements in future pitches and a better chance at securing funding. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Startup Investor Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/findinvestor.md) - [Startup Funding Directories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/credit-for-startups.md) - [Startup Lead Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-leads.md) - [Curated Startup Pitches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/startup-pitch-videos.md) - [Streamlined Start-Up Job Searching](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/startup-jobs-by-binh-pham.md) - [SaaS Startup Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-saas-start-up-guide.md) - [Startup Deal Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-deals.md) - [Founder Networking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-startup-club.md) - [Startup Fundraising Copilots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-fundraising.md)
