How Capitaly.vc Works: From Substack Content to Investor Connections

‍

Capitaly.vc isn’t just a newsletter.
It’s a fundraising engine—built by founders, for founders—designed to take you from “I’m raising soon” to “wires are landing.”

If you’ve ever wondered:

• “What do I actually get when I subscribe?”
• “Is this just content, or is there real support?”
• “How do I connect with investors through this?”

This post walks you through exactly how Capitaly.vc works, step-by-step.

Whether you're at idea stage or raising a $2M seed, here’s how to turn Capitaly.vc into your unfair advantage.

‍

1. It Starts with the Weekly Capitaly Substack

Every Tuesday, you get a zero-fluff, founder-first drop.

These posts are not “think pieces.” They’re systems and templates like:

• 200 Seed Investors to Start Your Outreach
• Fundraising Email Templates (Cold, Follow-Up, Update)
• Startup Valuation at Seed: How to Set the Cap (Without Guessing)
• Term Sheet Negotiation 101: What’s Standard vs Negotiable

You can read and act on each drop in under 10 minutes.

2. Then You Access the Capitaly Founder Hub

Subscribers get access to a private, curated library of:

• Notion dashboards for fundraising tracking
• Google Sheets tools for cap tables, burn planning, and valuation
• Email + pitch templates tested by real founders
• Checklists for outreach, updates, and meetings
• SAFE explainer pack for pre-seed founders
• Investor CRM templates to stay organized

This is your founder cockpit—everything in one place.

3. Join the Capitaly Community (Optional But Powerful)

Inside the Capitaly Circle, founders get:

• Peer feedback on decks and updates
• Warm intros from within the network
• Cold email teardown sessions
• Launch boosts and investor visibility
• AI-powered matching (in beta)
• Accountability sprints ("20 intros in 10 days" challenges)

This isn’t a noisy Slack.

It’s curated signal from founders who are raising right now.

4. Get Access to Investor Intelligence

We’re building a founder-friendly version of what VCs use behind closed doors.

What’s inside:

• 200+ curated investor profiles
  (by sector, stage, geo, check size, contact channel)
• Cold email angles and Twitter handles
• Searchable tags: climate, AI infra, LatAm, solo GP, underrepresented, etc.
• Warm intros (via community or platform-generated)

Coming soon:
🧠 Investor intro engine that recommends next 5 targets weekly.

5. Raise with a Repeatable System (Not a Wing and a Prayer)

Here’s the Capitaly 5-Phase Fundraising Flow:

PhaseWhat You Do1. NarrativeCraft your 5-minute founder story and deck2. TargetsBuild your investor list (from our database)3. OutreachUse our tested cold/warm email templates4. Follow-UpUse our update and CRM system5. ConversionSend the deck, close the round, negotiate terms

At each step, we provide:

6. Built for Founders Outside the “Warm Intro” Club

Let’s be real.

If you don’t have:

• A YC badge
• Tier-1 VC friends
• Stanford connections
• 100K Twitter followers

…you’re starting at a disadvantage.

Capitaly.vc levels the playing field by giving you:

• A clear system
• A high-signal founder network
• Warm intros from fellow members
• Public drops that create investor pull
• Private infrastructure to execute

You don’t need to “network harder.”
You need to raise smarter.

7. What Capitaly Is Not

❌ A fund
❌ A pay-to-pitch scheme
❌ A Slack group full of ghost founders
❌ An endless thread of links and emojis
❌ A glorified spreadsheet

We’re not building vanity metrics.
We’re building founder outcomes.
