Investor: AI-generated cold emails and pitch decks get auto-deleted
dauber · x · 2026-10-15
An investor who says he's sent this advice to 10+ founders this month: investors' inboxes are drowning in AI-generated cold emails and pitch decks, and for him they're an almost automatic "delete-without-response."
- His reasoning: AI-crafted materials convey neither craft nor care, and read as low-effort
- His suggestion: make fundraising materials manually so they best communicate your ideas in your own voice
- He frames it humbly as "a data point," acknowledging others may disagree
The reposter strongly agrees — as AI drives the cost of producing materials to zero, the human touch becomes the scarce signal.
