Biz dev is one of the areas in which you can actually find top quality people who will work for little or no salary in exchange for equity. Is that a possibility here? In my limited experience, the BD folks who will work for low/no salary in exchange for equity can do so because they've been quite successful at BD so far... Outside of that, networking through the warm market works best but sometimes you're going to need to cold call. Walking into the company, asking the receptionist for the name of someone with a specific job title and asking if you can leave them a packet of information can work as often as 20-30% of the time. Knowing the name in advance and having a custom packet would be even better.
