Got it, I haven't been in contact with them before, is it better to just hope they didn't see the email yet? (that kind of email turnaround seems pretty abnormal to me)
I just don't want them to open up the email tomorrow and see that I had hosting problems. To me as a first impression, any problem a red flag.
Or is that just me being naive?
- anigbrowl 14y agoI would assume they've already seen it. I'm no VC but as a general matter I'd prefer an up-front explanation than the possibility of being kept in the dark. If they have seen it and there's no follow-up from you then you look like an idiot. If not then you just look awkward.
- DarrinC 14y agoGreat advice! should I just send a quick email saying that: They may have experienced some problems accessing our presentation. Our hosting had some difficulties that they took responsibility for and we're currently reevaluating our hosting options. I apologize for any inconvenience it might have caused them in learning more about the company? (by the way you're amazing for putting up with me, I am so grateful)
- anigbrowl 14y agoPretty much. I agree with Niggler's advice that you also need to be looking at firing your hosting company, but even companies like Amazon mess up sometimes so YMMV. You can't afford to let good leads go cold though. And if this lead doesn't bite, don't despair - you can always contact that person again in a month or two, and in the meantimekeep plugging away. Hope things work out for you.
- DarrinC 14y agoI sent them an email apologizing for any inconvenience and explaining the situation. Thanks so much for your help, if anything positive comes of this and I remember I'll update this post if you're interested!
