    Through this program, you gain:
    - Accelerated access to hard-to-reach stakeholders.
    - Strategic guidance to avoid costly missteps.
    - Tailored matchmaking that would be nearly impossible to secure cold.
    - Validation and momentum for U.S. fundraising and expansion.

    Note: A warm introduction opens doors, but closing the deal depends on your traction, narrative, and timing. Our role is to deliver access; your role is to drive the opportunity forward.
