How to approach

Framing and angles for outreach

A strong pitch should emphasize product velocity, customer pull and why the opportunity can scale from early adoption into a large enterprise market.

Personalization hooks

1Reference his Kleiner Perkins portfolio across Slack, Rippling, Harvey and Loom if your company touches enterprise productivity or collaboration.
2For AI-native companies, connect your thesis to the official profile’s recent enterprise AI investments such as Harvey, Profound or Manifest OS.
3For fintech or credit infrastructure, mention relevance to Robinhood, Truv or Nova Credit where appropriate.
