Fundraising signals

A funding announcement is evidence of a financing event. It is not proof of available budget, purchase intent, or a particular team’s priorities. This page owns the event-specific evidence and decision boundary; the shared execution and account-contact safeguards live in signal playbooks.

Required evidence

A public announcement or structured source URL and its observed date.
The round details that source actually supports.
The account’s ICP-fit and existing customer or opportunity state.
A current, relevant initiative or a second verified signal when one exists.
The account owner and proposed next action.

Do not infer an active project from round type, amount, or investor alone.

Choose the next action

Evidence result	Decision
ICP-fit account with a current, relevant initiative	Draft a reviewed account-research or outreach angle.
ICP-fit account with only the financing event	Keep as a research candidate; seek a second signal.
Existing customer	Route the evidence to the account owner for an expansion decision.
Missing date, weak source, or non-ICP company	Retain the evidence or take no action.

For each candidate, return the announcement URL, observed date, supported round
details, ICP-fit result, account status, any second verified signal, and one
proposed action.

What is the best timing window for post-funding outreach?

Use this table to define a test. The statements are hypotheses, not facts about the company.

Window	Question to test	Action
Week 1	Is the company ready to discuss the relevant problem?	Verify fit before you contact the company.
Week 2-3	Has an owner or initiative become public?	Use only verified context in the message.
Week 4-8	Is the event still relevant to an active initiative?	Keep or lower priority based on evidence.
After week 8	Does another current signal support outreach?	Require a current signal before contacting.

Use these windows as planning examples. Measure response and conversion rates for your market. Change the windows when your results support a different rule.

Keep the message factual

Use only public, verified funding details. The message should connect an observed event to a specific, relevant problem; it should not claim that the round created budget or a project. For combined evidence, follow the signal-combination policy and make one reviewed account decision rather than sending separate trigger messages.
