If I was at the same stage as they were at this time. How would I have contacted these investors - or similar ones?

I have no idea how to start the process of asking VCs for a small sum in return for a share of the company.

I would really appreciate and answer.

Thank you.

The "traditional" answer is to identify the VCs you're interested in, and network your way into an introduction if you don't know them yourself. Accelerator programs can also be a way to become involved.

Have a clear, clean pitch deck. Know your unique value proposition, understand your competition, be able to demonstrate that there's a market and that it's significant. Show traction, team, and ability to execute.
