Cold email ft. billion dollar investor

Ever heard of Snapchat? Discord?

Well today’s cold email was sent to Niko Bonatsos. One of the earliest investors in those companies now worth multi billion dollars.

And do you know how he got in touch with the founder of Snapchat?

Take a wild guess.

Yeah pretty obvious - Cold Email. The cold email to Elon Musk (in the Hall of Fame) was also sent by Niko

But wait, it gets better.

The guy who sent this cold email to Niko is Ayush Jaiswal. He built one of the biggest recruiting companies in India which he sold to Scale AI

And I had cold emailed him last year which led to me working at Scale AI. Pretty crazy huh?

That’s why I care so much about this stuff.
