Fake investor outreach
Series A intro — quick call this week?
Hi! We've been tracking your traction since your latest LinkedIn post. Catalyst Ventures leads £5-15M Series A in B2B SaaS. Would love a 30-min intro call this week. Could you share your data room and latest metrics deck so we come prepared? Tight diligence window on our end.
Domain catalyst-ventures.io was registered last month. Real funds never send inbound diligence requests from new .io domains. "Send us your data room" is the most common spear-phish against startups raising — they collect investor decks and use them to attack the next startup in your portfolio.
