Quick Answer: Origami now has a built-in LinkedIn sequencer, so you can build a list of climate tech VCs and geothermal investors and send multi-touch outreach from the same platform. This guide walks you through exactly how to refine that audience, write a 3-touch sequence that speaks their language, and send it directly from Origami—with real copy you can steal.

If you haven’t yet built your prospect list, read how to build a list of Climate Tech VCs & Geothermal Investors first, then come back here for the outreach part. Already have your list? Let’s turn it into meetings.

Step 1 — Build the List in Origami (If You Haven’t Already)

Even if you arrived here from the parent guide, it’s worth seeing the prompt that powers the whole workflow. In Origami, you describe your ideal customer in plain English, and the AI agent searches the live web, chains data sources, enriches contacts, and qualifies leads—all from a single prompt.

Here’s the exact prompt you’d type to find climate tech VCs and geothermal investors:

“Find partners and principals at venture capital firms that actively invest in climate tech, with a focus on geothermal energy, deep geothermal, enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), or next-generation geothermal startups. Include firms that have publicly announced a dedicated climate or energy transition fund. Return verified names, LinkedIn profile URLs, work emails, phone numbers, company name, title, location, and any tools or technologies the firm mentions. Also flag if they’ve invested in geothermal or related subsurface companies in the last 3 years.”

Origami returns a qualified prospect list that includes:

First and last name
Verified email address (work)
Phone number (often direct)
Title, company, and location
LinkedIn profile URL
Company website, funding stage, and investment focus

New users get 1,000 free credits (no credit card needed), so you can test this and still have enough credits to enrich 50-100 leads for your first campaign.

Step 2 — Refine and Qualify Your List for LinkedIn Outreach

Building a list is just the start. LinkedIn outreach only works if you’re speaking to someone who feels the fit. Before you write a single message, segment your list to match your offer.

What to remove

Scroll through the list Origami gave you and kill these immediately:

Angels or solo GPs — if you’re selling enterprise-scale geothermal tech, they rarely write checks large enough.
Venture partners — they often source deals but don’t lead rounds. Unless they’re explicitly running the climate thesis, move them to a lower-priority sequence.
Firms with zero energy investments — a generalist VC who did one climate deal in 2021 isn’t an active investor. Check the enriched “tools & technologies” field Origami pulls; if there’s no mention of energy, subsurface, or deep tech, they’re a maybe at best.

How to segment for a higher reply rate

Group the remaining contacts into three buckets inside Origami (you can tag them or create separate lists):

Tier 1 — Geothermal-active investors
Firms that have announced a geothermal investment, have a dedicated “geothermal” or “advanced geothermal” focus, or whose portfolio includes EGS, closed-loop, or drilling tech companies.
Tier 2 — Climate tech generalists
Partners at climate funds that haven’t yet written a geothermal check but talk about “24/7 carbon-free energy,” “baseload decarbonization,” or “industrial heat.”
Tier 3 — Energy transition allocators
Limited partners or fund-of-funds managers who deploy capital into climate funds. Not direct investors, but can be powerful intros.

For the sequence we’re about to write, aim the first campaign at Tier 1 and a tailored version at Tier 2. Tier 3 deserves a completely different, slower-nurture sequence—one that belongs in a separate guide.

What “qualified” looks like for this audience

A qualified geothermal investor in 2026 isn’t just someone with a climate fund. Look for these signals:

Mentions of “resource risk,” “well cost,” or “drilling innovation” in their portfolio company case studies.
Attendance at PIVOT, Geothermal Rising, or CERAWeek (Origami often surfaces event participation).
Public comments on permitting reform, Fervo’s milestones, or Sage Geosystems’ recent raises.
Use of phrases like “unlocked geothermal,” “manufacturing heat,” or “subsurface data” in their blog or LinkedIn posts.

If you see those, they’re your high-intent segment. Move them to the top.

Step 3 — Create the LinkedIn Sequence

Origami gives you two ways to build the sequence:

Paste your own templates. Write your own 3-touch sequence and paste the templates directly into Origami’s sequencer. Set the delays between touches (Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, or whatever cadence you prefer) and hit “Launch.” This is what we’ll do below—you can copy the messages word for word.
Let the agent write it. Alternatively, ask Origami’s AI agent to generate a personalized 3-day LinkedIn sequence for all your leads automatically. The agent writes messages based on each lead’s profile data—title, company, industry, tools used—so every message feels custom, without you lifting a finger.

For a niche like climate tech VCs, I recommend starting with hand-written templates that nail the industry language, then letting Origami personalize the first line of each message dynamically. The sequence below is built exactly for that.

Your 3-Touch LinkedIn Outreach Sequence (Steal This)

Target persona: Partner or Principal at a climate tech VC with geothermal exposure.
Goal: Get a 15-minute call to share how your technology / deal / fund can de‑risk their geothermal thesis.

Day 1 — Connection request + note (300-character limit; will be trimmed by LinkedIn, so we keep it tight)

Message (connection note):

“Hi — saw your firm’s recent work on baseload decarbonization and the geothermal deals you backed. I’m working on [one-line value prop: e.g., a novel drilling approach that drops EGS well costs by 40%]. Would love to connect and share what we’re seeing in the field. – ”

Why this works: It names their actual focus (baseload, geothermal), avoids generic flattery, and teases a concrete result (cost reduction) without giving away the whole story.

Day 3 — Follow-up message (no subject; this is a LinkedIn message sent after they accept)

Message:

“, quick follow-up. One thing we keep hearing from geothermal developers is that resource assessment still adds 12–18 months to project timelines—and that’s before a single well is drilled. Our [product/approach] shrinks that to under 60 days with surface-only data. Given your portfolio in next-gen geothermal, figured this might align with what your teams are trying to solve. Happy to send a 2-pager if it’s relevant.”

Why this works: It names a real, painful bottleneck (resource assessment timeline) that every geothermal investor understands, drops a specific metric (60 days vs 12–18 months), and offers a low-commitment next step (2-pager). No “just checking in.”

Day 7 — Final message, soft close (same thread)

Message:

“, last ping from me on this. I respect the inbox. If geothermal isn’t a live priority right now, no sweat. If your team does explore new subsurface tech this year, I’d welcome a quick call to swap notes on where the industry is headed—no pitch, just an honest conversation about what’s working and what isn’t. Here’s my calendar link in case timing lines up: ”

Why this works: It takes the pressure off, acknowledges their time, and reframes the interaction as an industry conversation, which investors almost always take because it helps them do their job. The calendar link removes friction.

Personalization tips for this specific audience

If Origami’s enrichment shows the lead attended Geothermal Rising 2026, open with: “Caught your talk at GR this year…” — even if you didn’t, it signals relevance.
If they’ve backed a drilling tech company, tweak Day 3 to reference that deal: “Given your investment in [portfolio co], I thought you’d find what we’re doing with [specific tech] interesting…”
For Tier 2 (climate generalists), swap “geothermal” for “24/7 carbon-free energy” or “industrial decarbonization” to widen the aperture. The same three-touch structure works; just change the pain point in Day 3 to “proving bankability of baseload clean energy.”

Step 4 — Send the Sequence Directly from Origami

Here’s where Origami earns its keep. You don’t export a CSV, upload it to another tool, and pray the tokens sync. The built-in LinkedIn sequencer sends everything right from the platform where your list lives.

How to launch

Inside your Origami list, select the contacts you want to include (e.g., your Tier 1 segment).
Click “Start Sequence,” paste the three messages from above, set your delays (I use Day 1, Day 3, Day 7—feel free to experiment).
Origami automatically fills , , and any other enrichment fields you want to pipe in (like their fund name or a recent headline).
Hit “Launch.” Connection requests go out with the Day 1 note. Acceptances automatically trigger the Day 3 message after the specified delay. No one gets Day 3 if they didn’t accept.

Sending & tracking inside the same dashboard

Once live, you’ll see every touch in the sequence builder:

Opens (LinkedIn tells you if a message was read)
Clicks (if you included a Calendly link, you’ll see who clicked)
Replies — visible right next to the lead’s enriched profile

The best part: while you’re looking at a contact’s reply, you can still see their enriched profile—title, company, tools used, investment thesis. So you can reply contextually without digging through a separate CRM.

Automatic un-enrollment

If someone replies at all — even “not interested” — Origami pulls them out of the sequence. No accidentally sending a breakup message after a booked meeting. No awkward “Just following up” when they already said yes. This alone saves more embarrassment than any other feature.

Cost clarity

Origami’s LinkedIn sequencer is included on all paid plans — you’re only paying for the credits used to enrich leads. The sending is free. Plans start at $29/month. With the free plan’s 1,000 credits, you could enrich a 50-person list and still have credits left to test a second audience.

What response rate to expect

For a well-targeted list of geothermal-active VCs, with messages that name their real pain points, expect a connection acceptance rate of 35–45% and a reply rate of 12–18% on the Day 3 follow-up. The Day 7 soft close will typically convert another 5–8% of the remaining open conversations into a call. That means for every 100 contacts you reach out to, you’ll book 8–12 calls.

If you’re below those numbers after two weeks, the fix isn’t usually the sequence—it’s the list. Go back to Step 1, tighten your qualification signals, and cut anyone who doesn’t have a real geothermal footprint. Iterate on the audience first, then fine-tune the messages.

One Platform, From List to Meeting

Let’s recap the full workflow you just ran:

Find climate tech VCs and geothermal investors in Origami by describing your ICP in plain English.
Enrich those leads with verified emails, phones, and profile data.
Qualify them inside the platform using investment signals and industry language.
Sequence them with 3-touch LinkedIn outreach written (or generated) specifically for the geothermal audience.
Send the sequence directly from Origami—connection requests and follow-ups go out automatically.
Track replies, clicks, and meetings booked—all while seeing the same enriched profile that made you reach out in the first place.

No exporting CSVs, no syncing with another tool, no breaking context between list and outreach. Origami handles the full workflow.
