Investor Access — Taiwan & APAC Network for Foreign Founders

What ROLL ON. Investor Access includes

Investor Access is the curated-introduction service that connects foreign founders with Taiwanese and APAC investors through ROLL ON.'s All Nighter Community. It is not a database, not a cold-outreach service, and not a placement agency. It is the relationship layer that turns "we have a list of VCs" into "we have warm introductions to the four investors who actually invest at your stage, in your sector, with check sizes that fit." Every introduction is sponsored by a specific operating relationship — which is why we cap the number of intros per founder and why we say no to founders who are not ready.

What's included

• Investor target calibration — stage, sector, check size, geography, thesis fit
• Curated warm introductions through the Investor Access network and All Nighter Community
• Pre-meeting briefings — investor background, prior portfolio pattern, likely diligence questions
• Post-meeting follow-up coaching and pacing
• Introductions to operator-investors and family offices not reachable through public databases
• Selective invitations to All Nighter Community in-person events in Taipei
• Coordinated handoff — once an introduction lands, the founder owns the relationship
• Partner-network reach into Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and select Southeast Asia
• Quarterly portfolio updates back to investors who participated in a round

Who this is for

• Foreign founders raising seed through Series C from or with a Taiwan base
• Companies with a complete founding team, clear wedge, and a defensible deck and model
• Founders whose existing investor network is concentrated outside Asia and who need warm reach into Taiwan / APAC
• Operators who understand that warm introductions are sponsored relationships, not entitled outreach

Who this is NOT for

• Founders looking for bulk investor lists or outreach automation — that is not what we do
• Pre-team, pre-product concepts looking for a "first check" through ROLL ON.'s network
• Founders unwilling to engage on the underlying readiness work — we will not introduce an unfundable company to investors we have relationships with
• Companies whose primary capital need is debt, grants, or non-equity instruments

Engagement models

ROLL ON. uses three pricing structures and Investor Access typically pairs with the fundraising engagement.

1. Inside a fundraising engagement — most common. Investor Access introductions are a workstream within a fundraising program priced on monthly retainer + success fee at close.
2. Standalone curated-introduction program — fixed-scope diagnostic (readiness + target calibration) plus monthly retainer for paced introductions. Used when the founder is already fundraising-ready and only needs the relationship layer.
3. Community membership-only access — selective All Nighter Community invitations for foreign founders not currently fundraising but actively building in Taiwan. By curation, not application.

Specific figures and the success-fee structure are shared after the 30-minute discovery call.

Process

1. 30-minute discovery call — stage, sector, round size, existing investor relationships, timing
2. Readiness check (week 1) — deck, model, equity story, team profile, prior conversation history
3. Target calibration (weeks 1–2) — investor list with rationale, paced introduction plan
4. Introduction phase (weeks 2–12) — warm intros at a sustainable pace, briefings, follow-up
5. Meeting prep and post-meeting coaching — running parallel to introductions
6. Handoff — relationship transfers to the founder; ROLL ON. shifts to advisory through close

Timeline expectations

• Readiness check and target calibration: 1–2 weeks
• First introductions: weeks 2–3
• Full introduction cycle: 6–12 weeks (paced; we do not blast)
• First investor meetings: 3–4 weeks from kickoff
• Term sheet phase: typically months 3–5 in seed; months 4–6 in Series A
• Close: tied to the broader fundraising engagement, not Investor Access alone

Paced introductions matter. Burning the network with under-prepared founders is the fastest way to lose warm-introduction quality, so we will hold back intros until readiness is in place.

How we work differently

• Curated, not bulk — we cap intros per founder per week. Bulk outreach destroys the relationship pool we have spent years building, so we will not do it even when founders push.
• Sponsored by an operating relationship — every introduction is one ROLL ON. operator is willing to put their name behind. This is why our reply rates are high; it is also why we say no.
• Founder owns the relationship after handoff — we are accelerators, not gatekeepers. Once the intro lands, the investor relationship belongs to the founder.
• Integrated with operating reality — through ROLL ON.'s broader services (Market Entry, Legal, Marketing, Sales Channel), investors see operating proof, not just slides. This is the deepest moat against "deck-only" placement agents.
