cold emails and DMs often go unread
Often that’s because spam filters tend to filter out unsolicited emails. DM’s work similarly.
Getting a warm intro requires resourcefulness. That’s a skill investors value. If a warm intro is too much work, then building a startup will be too.
Of course if you build something interesting investors may look for you…and you will need a good spam filter to filter distractions. Good luck
- paulwilsonn 1y agoFair point - resourcefulness absolutely matters, and I agree that building a startup requires persistence far beyond cold outreach. That said, I think the line between “resourcefulness” and “access” is thinner than it seems. A lot of early founders are putting in the effort - they’re just not starting from networks where investor intros are even possible. Warm intros are ideal, but discovery shouldn’t depend entirely on who you already know. Sometimes a founder just needs a way to start genuine conversations - even if it begins cold.
