Rejection Email:

Hey [Name],

Thanks for reaching out to me about your current fundraise. I’ve been a founder myself, so I understand how hard that can be.

After having looked at the opportunity I have to pass. I get hundreds of opportunities every year and can only invest in a few of them. That means I say no to almost everyone.

When it comes to feedback these are thoughts that might be helpful for you:

- [Area of Concern #1]
- [Area of Concern#2]
- …

Little Side Note: I am often wrong and a lot startups that I passed on have become great companies.

### Optional if interested at later point in time

So happy to reconsider [Name] in your next fundraise.

Best of luck with your raise,
Max
