90: Are Allocators Even on LinkedIn? How to Build Relationships With Investors on Social and Beyond | Story Snack Series

Billion Dollar Backstory

Raising capital starts with real relationships. And in 2025, social media is the easiest way to make those connections…right?

Well… not always.

What if the allocators you’re trying to reach aren’t posting? You can’t comment. You can’t DM them. Heck, maybe they don’t even accept your connection requests on LinkedIn.

Then what? How do you reach someone who seems impossible to reach? How do you start a conversation without sending an email pitch that gets buried?

If these questions sound familiar, you’re in for a treat with this Episode because Stacy is breaking down:

• Why skipping LinkedIn could be a huge mistake (just because allocators aren’t posting doesn’t mean they’re not watching)
• What to do when an allocator really isn’t on social at all
• How to use the give, give, give, ask framework to book more meetings when social media isn’t an option

This is Story Snacks! A bite-sized, jam-packed series for fund managers who are ready to master strategic storytelling in less than 20 minutes per week.
