VC work runs on relationships and speed. Slashy keeps you responsive to founders, organized on deal flow, and prepped for every pitch meeting.

​
Your Setup Checklist

1

Set Up Founder Labels

Create importance labels for portfolio founders, active deal flow, and LPs. Founder emails surface at the top — everything else waits.
2

Train AI on Your Style

Reply to 5-10 founder emails using Cmd+Enter drafts and edit each one. The AI learns your voice fast so you can respond quickly without sounding generic.
3

Connect Your Calendar

Link Google Calendar in Settings > Calendars. Slashy uses it for meeting prep briefings and sharing availability with founders via Shift+Cmd+A.
4

Create Deal Flow Snippets

Press n s to create snippets for pass emails, next-steps requests, intro forwards, and term sheet follow-ups. Insert with Cmd+Shift+S.
5

Enable iMessage Summaries

Connect your phone in Settings > iMessage for weekly portfolio summaries and alerts when key founders email you.

Automations For You

Open the AI agent sidebar (Cmd+Shift+L) and set up these automations:
Before every meeting tagged as a pitch, Slashy sends a briefing with the founder’s recent emails, prior meeting notes, and any open threads. Walk into every pitch with full context.
Every Monday morning, get an iMessage digest summarizing emails from all portfolio founders over the past week. Spot who needs attention without reading every thread.
Slashy auto-drafts replies to founder emails within minutes. Review and send with one click. Founders notice when you respond in under an hour.
Daily scan for inbound pitch emails you haven’t responded to. A morning summary ensures no promising founder gets left on read.

Pro Tips

  • Speed wins deals: Use Cmd+Enter to draft, quick-edit, then Cmd+Shift+Enter to send. Founders remember the investor who responded in 20 minutes, not 2 days.
  • Portfolio pulse check: Ask the agent “Which portfolio founders haven’t emailed me in 30 days?” to spot who might need a check-in.
  • Warm intros in seconds: When forwarding an intro, ask the agent “Forward this to [founder] with context about why they should meet [person].” The AI pulls relevant details from your email history.
  • Pass gracefully: Create a snippet for pass emails with a warm, specific reason. Insert with Cmd+Shift+S, add one personal line, send. Respectful and fast.

​
