Cold Email Tips + Templates
Hustle Fund (Hustle Commons) Free Beginner
Hustle Fund invests at pre-seed and reviews over a thousand companies a month, so their founders team has read (and rejected) more bad cold emails than almost anyone. This post breaks down an actual bad email they received next to what a good one looks like, then gives you fill-in-the-blank templates so you can see the structure in action rather than guessing at it.
- Lead with the recipient's interests before your product, people warm up when asked about themselves
- Say more with less, cut every sentence that doesn't earn its place
- Make the ask a specific block of time, like 15 minutes, not an open-ended 'thoughts?'
