Makes sense. Appreciate your thoughts; Good luck financing (read financing, not financing)

Better be garnished with good, accurate numbers, high level insights, and sexy graphics.

Less of a cold email, but more of a here’s three things that’ll solve a key issue in industry X. Add more details in the attachment, the top stuff in the body, and a call to action to connect with you, with a calendar link so they can setup a time.

The real work trying to understand what you want to sell them, and having your pitch ready. The email is more of a heat seeking missile, than a cold email.

“Hope this email finds you well”

Insert an appropriate number of “!” , so like 5 min

I hate that I’m saying this but I really just want a beautiful watch that is horologically great but just has one pusher that sends a signal to your phone to do one specific task.

I don’t want a screen, I don’t want it to be complicated, I don’t want it to be noticeable. I don’t have the answer, just the desire
