Do founders actually read cold email?

Some do, usually the ones that feel written to their company this week. If you cite a real trigger and keep the ask small, you have a chance. If you mail-merge 'loved your journey,' you don't. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Hi [First Name],

This isn't a pitch dump. I want to walk through [one decision].

Add one new fact, example, or easier ask. Repeating the first email trains them to keep ignoring it.

If you want [colleague] on it, feel free to forward this.

Best,
