How to approach

Framing and angles for outreach

Pitch framing

Position the company around a crisp industry reinvention thesis, with special emphasis on applied AI, productivity, fintech, data infrastructure or cybersecurity. Show why the product creates a new category or step-change workflow rather than only incremental software improvement.

Personalization hooks

  1. 1Reference the official quote about being interested in founders who are dead-set on reinventing an industry.
  2. 2Tie your company to the pattern of enterprise and productivity companies associated with Figma, Loom, Rippling or Moveworks.
  3. 3If relevant, mention a data infrastructure or cybersecurity angle because both are explicitly named in his official focus statement.
