Am I allowed to reach out to the investor directly after they’ve viewed my business plan?

Can I email the investor directly once they request access to the business plan? Can I follow up with an investor by email once they request access to my materials?

Yes, once an investor requests access to your business plan, you’re allowed to email them directly. 

This is a valuable opportunity to introduce yourself personally, thank them for their interest, and begin building a relationship. A thoughtful follow-up email can help you stand out and show that you’re proactive and engaged.

When reaching out, keep your message professional and concise. You might briefly highlight what makes your venture compelling, offer to answer any questions they may have, or suggest a time for a quick call if they’re open to it. Always be respectful of their time and avoid sending multiple messages without a response. A well-timed and courteous follow-up can go a long way in moving the conversation forward.
