Totally agree, and I have some personal experience to back it up. If I can raise my seed round with a cold email, no reason someone else can’t get their dream job with a cold email. But it’s gotta be a damn good email.https://medium.com/@alliehochjanoch/how-i-turned-a-cold-email-into-a-2-5m-seed-round-c33bd80f5590 …
Cold emails (& even cold DMs!) work. Here's a DM that led to @TheJGR joining Robinhood when it was a seed stage company 4 years ago. Now it's valued at >$5b.
If you like an opportunity, try to seize it! Maybe nothing happens 80-90% of the time, but the other 10-20% is magical.https://twitter.com/TheJGR/status/1009869395039064064 …
years ago, I dropped out of college & joined a 13-person startup w/$3M seed, promising to “democratize the stock market.”
In college, I remember setting my alarm at 6am for earnings & getting ripped off by ETrade, so when I read about Robinhood’s mission, I sent this DM.. pic.twitter.com/hBP8VHtfMp-

Cold messages are generally underestimated. Me and
@SuissD wrote a cold, handwritten letter to@HessRoderich, who at the time was CEO of Montblanc Switzerland, asking to join the board of directors of our startup. After meeting us in person he did. Thx Rod for your support!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
