Prospecting when "Company X just raised $Y Million"


Suppose I see a headline like this in TechCrunch and Company X works in an area I am interested in. Maybe I am thinking I'd like to work for Company X or maybe I think they might buy why I am selling, or maybe I just want to network with them for the long term.

Is this a good time to reach out or has the ship already sailed? Are the people at a company like that getting mobbed by people who want a piece of the action? Are they burned out by the effort of fundraising or are they at an emotional high that makes them receptive?

What are your thoughts?
