Draft message
Hi Sarah,
Congratulations on Goldman's advisory work on the Vertex sale, and on the Bloomberg feature. Both caught my attention this week.
I'm a second-year Economics student at LSE preparing for IB spring weeks. At the careers panel, your point about valuing intellectual curiosity over polish stuck with me. It's reframed how I'm approaching applications.
Would you have 15 minutes for a coffee in the next couple of weeks? I'd love to hear how you've thought about positioning yourself in M&A specifically.
Thanks for considering it,
[your name]
drag to compare — same contact, same minute. the only difference is the research.
why it matters
of finance roles are filled through networking and referrals, before they ever reach a job board.
more likely to land an interview when referred by someone already inside the firm.
is all it takes to start a relationship that turns into a spring week, internship, or graduate offer.
One conversation with an analyst or associate gives you more useful intel than a month of online research. What they actually look for. How to position yourself. What to say in the interview.
A referral gets your name in front of the hiring manager before the role is posted. In banking, asset management, and PE, this is how most candidates get in.
The professionals you message today become the people who advocate for you tomorrow. Careers in finance are built on trust built over time.
questions
No. folowup runs on foloAI, our bespoke research and drafting engine built specifically for professional outreach. Before writing a word, foloAI runs a live web search for what's happening at the contact's firm right now (recent deals, news, team changes) and weaves that into a message that references something specific. It knows the difference between a first outreach, a follow-up, and a post-meeting note, structures each accordingly, and strips out the clichés generic AI tools lean on.
Never. folowup drafts and researches. You review, refine in chat, and send manually through your own email or LinkedIn. Your name, your relationship, your control.
A name and firm is enough to get started. The more context you add (how you met, what you've spoken about, notes from interactions) the sharper the research and the more personalised the draft.
Investment banking, asset management, private equity, hedge funds, consulting, and corporate finance. Anything where outreach, referrals, and relationships drive the recruiting process.
