Body
Hi {{first_name}},
Building {{custom.company_name}} — {{custom.one_line_pitch}}.

Saw you led {{custom.portfolio_company}}'s round — looks like a strong thesis fit. Open to a 20-min intro call?

Why this template works
Subject Line — Numbers in subject
VCs scan inboxes for traction. Putting a metric + timeframe in the subject is the highest-open-rate format founder-to-VC.
Body — Thesis-fit reference
Citing a portfolio company that signals fit is the difference between "another deck" and "I should reply to this."
