Cold Outreach
When to Use
Activate when a founder needs to write cold emails or LinkedIn messages to prospects, potential customers, investors, or strategic contacts. Also use when the user says "nobody replies to my emails," "how do I reach out to X," "write me a cold email," or "help with outbound."
Context Required
From startup-context or the user:
- Target prospect — Name, role, company, and why them specifically
- Research signals — Recent news (funding, launches, hires), LinkedIn activity, company growth data, or role/industry context
- Sender positioning — Who you are, what you offer, your unique credibility
- Platform — Email, LinkedIn, or both
- Batch size — Single prospect or multi-prospect campaign
Work with whatever the user provides. A strong research signal and clear value prop is enough to draft. Note what would strengthen the message but do not block on missing inputs.
