First, make sure you have a product with traction and uses cases of it being used. Make a nice slide deck.

Make a list of investors you want to target. Look them up on LinkedIn & Angelist. See if you have any shared connections and try to get some introductions. I have found that cold emailing never really leads to anything.

Next up, join a lot of meetup groups to do with your field, startups, entrepreneurship etc... and go to as many as you can. Meet other founders. Don't just talk about yourself. Find out what they do, ask them questions, take them out for a beer etc...find out who their investors are and try and get them to do intros.

It's all about networking. Get yourself out there, meet founders and get introductions to investors.
