Each investor's outreach policy is inferred from its public website and labelled cold email OK, application form, warm intro only or via referral. Investors with an unknown or closed policy are not counted. These are inferences, not confirmed by the firms. Only active investors are included, and any cell with fewer than 10 investors is hidden. Full details are on our methodology page.
