Stage, sector, and overall fit
Framing and angles for outreach
Lead with product insight: show why a workflow, developer, productivity, or marketplace product will become meaningfully better because of AI, network effects, or both. Given Joff’s operator background, a concise narrative around product craft, user adoption, and team quality is likely more compelling than a purely financial pitch.
