First Patron Outreach

Year 1 success or failure depends on landing 1-3 anchor patrons at the $100k-1M level. Per 5-Year Vision, this is the single point of failure.

Stub — full content TBD post-incorporation

Target list and warm-intro mapping will be built post-incorporation (so the asks land on a legitimate legal entity).

Plan (high-level)

1. Build 15-20 target list across HK family offices + healthcare philanthropists + ESF/HKIS/CDNIS parents
2. Warm-intro mapping (HKU alumni, existing personal network)
3. Donor pitch deck v1 — documents/templates/donor-pitch-deck.md
4. One-page leave-behind — documents/templates/one-page-leave-behind.md
5. First 5 conversations
6. First commitment(s)

Each patron interaction logged to people/_patrons/{name}.md (_private: true).
