I Cold Emailed 25 Billionaires to Invest in My Startup
My startup, Stan, has recently picked up some major traction, and as I consider raising another round of funding, I figured it would be a helpful exercise to reach out to 25 billionaires and see how many of them I could get to invest!
Though this ended up being much more challenging than originally expected, it was super helpful for me, and my hope is that this video will provide you with the framework you need to begin your own cold emailing journey!

    I’m not a business student or knowledgeable in business, but if you’re constantly looking for “the best” person for the job, your search will never end. You should probably look for the people that are looking for a mission to see through to the end, and people that are willing to grow and become better and more efficient over time as the company grows. You need people that want to BUILD something together, that means for better or for worse you stick together.

    Here are the key takeaways from the video "Everything I Learned at Stanford Business School in 28 Minutes": 1. Strategy and Competitive Advantage - Use frameworks like Porter's Five Forces to analyze industry competition and a company's strengths/weaknesses - Understand different types of competitive advantages - brand, economies of scale, cost leadership, innovation, network effects, etc. - Tailor your strategy to leverage your core competitive advantages 2. Building a Great Product - Solve real problems for customers rather than just pushing an idea - Start small and niche, iterate based on customer feedback - Slowly expand the product over time to adjacent markets 3. Marketing - Define your ideal customer profile and speak directly to them - Craft marketing messages that resonate with your core audience - Use the right distribution channels where your audience is present 4. Financial Analysis - Analyze revenue, costs, profits using financial statements - Build financial models to forecast future performance - Value companies using DCF analysis or comparable company multiples 5. People Management - Develop emotional intelligence - self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy - Be a servant leader who genuinely cares about employees' growth - Build strong professional networks, as connections lead to opportunities The main thesis is condensing key business principles taught at top MBA programs into one succinct video, while still emphasizing the immense value of the in-person networking and relationship-building aspect of an elite MBA education.
