It is almost always a terrible idea to create a fictitious story--more so in your case, as you are interacting with the FOUNDER of a firm; not only can doing so create a situation whereby more and more lies are required, but, if found out, the trust that had been placed in you will be progressively eroded, if not immediately destroyed.

I would personally tell the guy of my finding his fund through Axial and include anything that piqued my interest. Also, don't think of any responses as being intimidating; this could definitely set you up by eventually leading to the overthinking of certain situations, such as this one. A considerable measure of boldness, supplemented (obviously) by knowledge and awareness, is unquestionably necessary in finance.
