Hi All! We’ve recently launched a San Francisco-based Agentic AI startup. So far, we’ve organically built a waitlist of over 1000 users and converted some of them into paying subscribers without any marketing spend. With this early traction, we’re eager to scale our platform and attract enterprise clients. Given our progress, what strategies or channels would you recommend for connecting with angel investors in the San Francisco area? Any insights or advice on approaching potential investors effectively would be greatly appreciated!

I'd suggest investing your time in the product first and converting the waitlist to real users before trying to take on external investment. It will either make it much easier or you won't need to raise depending on what happens when your product goes out to the 1000 user list.

We’ve converted some of them, but I want to provide a better user experience.
