10 Mistakes Tech Cofounders from ENGR 145 Make, Sending Email to VC’s<\/p>\n

Gmail subject lines. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
-1- Change the email subject line EVERY time you email the same people<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
-2- Have a 10-15 word email subject line. It’s a mistake to only have a 2-5 word subject line<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
-3- email and Re Email vc’s <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
VC’s are dumber than rocks. So, they only understand persistence. So, Re email them from<\/div>\n
Your stanford edu email<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
-4- Maybe don’t use your Gmail. Use that stanford edu email as an attention getting. Vc’s love to speak at events so…<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
-5- Invite them to an event <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
They’ll think they’re maybe speaking. So, at least they will open your email<\/div>\n
