The credibility hack that gets VCs to respond to cold outreach

was indirectly almost entirely through that. Right? Because, you know, at the end of the day, if you're meeting one person, it's you're not meeting just them.

We had one or two quite lucky intros or say lucky it was a numbers game, so maybe it was just statistical significance. I don't know. Did you do the comment, like, especially that early on? Oh, I'm a I'm a student. Wouldn't want your advice, etcetera, etcetera. Was it, like, very direct? Like, hey. I'm fundraising. I was very direct. You know, I think in that first message, a big part of it is credibility. So I think, like, how can you in that first three or four words get some level of credibility? Is it a name drop? Maybe it's where you studied. If you studied somewhere, great. Do you remember what you did? What was your kind of credibility tagline?
