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!

Make friends with other entrepreneurs. Impress them and ask them for intros to their investors. If you're good, and your product is good, they'll want to introduce you as it looks good for them.

I have so many founder friends in SF, but their investors expect them to focus and work solely on their own thing.

I think you might misunderstand what I'm saying. An introduction is an email. If you already knew that, then you either misunderstand how the game is played, or your friends won't introduce you because they don't believe in what you're building.
