Developer tools investors in San Francisco
Developer tools is a segment where investors are unusually willing to evaluate the product directly, which changes what your outreach should point at.
How to approach this segment
Send them something they can run. In most segments a deck is the artifact; here a working sandbox, a public repo, or a two-minute terminal recording does more work than any slide. Investors in this segment frequently have engineering backgrounds and will form a view in ten minutes if you let them.
Bottom-up adoption metrics beat revenue at the earliest stage. Weekly active developers, time-to-first-successful-call, and organic repo growth are the numbers this segment actually indexes on, and a small honest number here is more persuasive than a large vague one.
