The prompt

Paste the brief below into ChatGPT or Claude with Temway's MCP enabled — the agent builds the email step by step. Or adapt it for your own brand and copy.

  • An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
  • A [layout] step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links.
  • Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.

Want this exact email? Tell your agent to clone the Temway share YnvnXQc06GsqBNNu8k_I5, then rebrand it. For the full model, point it at get_concept — email-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

You just closed the round, and this is the email that tells the world with the momentum it deserves. A bold gradient hero throws the number up front — $20M, Series A — then two forward-leaning paragraphs and an investor’s vote of confidence build the case, closing on a green call to read the full story.

Snapshot

  • Goal: announce a funding round ($20M Series A) with growth energy — credit the team and investors, signal what’s next.
  • Audience & tone: customers, investors, and the tech community. Ambitious, grateful, momentum-forward.
  • Palette: page #0f172a · container #1e293b · text #f1f5f9 / #cbd5e1 (muted) · accent emerald #10b981 (hero gradient #10b981 → #059669)
  • Font: "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif
  • Artwork: one gradient-hero layout hero (a single rasterized image). Everything below it is native, selectable, clickable.

Build recipe

Each step is one block in the flat stack, top to bottom. [native] = a real email block. [layout] = a free-form layout embedded as a single image.

  1. [native] Logo — “VELOCITY” wordmark, emerald #10b981, center, letter-spaced.
  2. [layout] Gradient hero — apply the gradient-hero layout template; recolor its band to the emerald gradient (#10b981 → #059669) over the #0f172a page. Overlay copy, text-only: oversized “$20M” in white #f1f5f9, label “SERIES A” beneath in dark #0f172a (on the bright band), eyebrow “WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED”. The working CTA is the native button in step 7.
  3. [native] Heading — text. “Led by Sequoia Capital”. fontSize: 24, fontWeight: 700, color #10b981, center.
  4. [native] Trajectory paragraph — text. “Two years ago Velocity was a demo and a dream. Today we’re processing a billion events a month — and this round means we’re not slowing down.” fontSize: 16, color #cbd5e1, center.
  5. [native] Plans paragraph — text. “We’re doubling the team, opening our API to everyone, and shipping the enterprise features you’ve been asking for. The best of Velocity is still ahead.” fontSize: 16, color #cbd5e1, center.
  6. [native] Investor testimonial — text. Italic body “‘Velocity is the fastest-growing team we’ve backed this year. We’re all in.’” then a green attribution line ”— Priya Anand, Partner, Sequoia Capital”. fontSize: 17 (body), color #f1f5f9; attribution #10b981, fontWeight: 700. Tight top padding so quote + attribution read as one unit — the flat model stacks, it does not box.
  7. [native] CTA button — button. Label “Read the blog”, emerald #10b981 fill, dark #0f172a text, rounded corners, center.
  8. [native] Footer — social + address. Recolor both to the palette: social.color = #10b981, address.color = #64748b, address.fontFamily = "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif. Without this they fall back to a generic brand-blue that clashes with the dark slate.

Make it yours

  1. Swap “$20M / SERIES A” and the lead investor name for your real round.
  2. Rewrite the two paragraphs and the investor quote — keep the ambition, name the concrete plans.
  3. Recolor the emerald gradient to your brand, but keep the dark container for the premium, momentum feel.
