If you sent me the email you drafted in #4, I'd ignore it. If you sent it again, I'd mark it as spam. Don't do this, it's a bad approach.
If you managed to get me to meet for lunch, didn't have anything built, but asked me for $1000, I'd ask you to pay for lunch and get back to me when you've built something that I could use for free for a month. Caveat - if you're the former founder/co-founder of Dropbox, Square, Twitter, etc... this rule doesn't apply. You want to be in the position where someone offers you money (without you asking) because the product is so great.
- notastartup 13y agowhat would you like to see in #4 that would spark your interest?
- chresko 13y agoHey Steve, I was referred to you by our mutual friend John. He mentioned that you were using X for booking off time. My startup has a similar, but better product that just went live. We spent four weeks in beta, and saw a 25-35% decrease in operating costs per month. We plan to launch this as a paid monthly service, but I'd like to offer it to you for free. It takes less than 10 minutes to migrate. Can you hop on a call this week and we'll get you started? Thanks! Me
