Funding signal
A round closed. Everyone sees it, so the advantage is in the week you act and the specific plan you address.
A funding signal flags that a company has raised money, with the stage, amount and investors usually public the day it is announced.
Because it is universally visible, a freshly funded company gets approached by hundreds of vendors at once. The ones who get answered are early and specific: referencing what the round is for, which the announcement usually states, beats congratulating them on it.
