Re: I fully agree with this advice -- especially the part about weak warm intros being far inferior to good cold emails. I'd much rather see a good cold email than an intro through a mutual connection that barely knows me and the other party PSA for startup founders reading: this is the type of investor you want. Seek out investors willing to do the work. So many VCs will publicly gripe about inbound messages, unsolicited pitches, etc. I have heard many VCs explicitly say they will not meet with someone who isn't warm intro'd. They will beg you to follow them on Snapchat or Quora to create brand for deal flow one minute then bemoan the people who want to actually have a conversation. Leo's POV is refreshing.
