Today I wanted to talk about one of my favorite subjects: cold outreach. At this point in my life, I am pretty much a professional at cold outreach. Cold outreach is really what built the foundation of my career, whether that was an email, Twitter DM, or LinkedIn message. I will be addressing my five P's of cold outreach: perspective, purpose, process, prep, and post. I will also be sharing my perspective on my cold outreaches in the past because I have interacted with some pretty amazing people such as Beth Comstock, Ann Miura-Ko, Mike Dempsey, Neal Jean, and Mark Cuban.
Seed to Harvest is a podcast focused on stories & tactics from a diverse array of investors, founders, and creators, hosted by Paige Finn Doherty, a founding partner at Behind Genius Ventures and author of Seed to Harvest, an illustrated children's book for adults.
