How should a founder reach out to you (via email or social media)?
via email
How can a founder create a pitch that catches your interest?
Direct email on my name from somebody, who knows what I'm doing (checked out my LinkedIn profile) and offering a clear new idea or a smart business concept which fits to my work.
What was the worst pitch you've ever received?
mass e-mails with pics about boring products, you can buy everywhere and has no interest, and the pics are in high res, so the e-mail account get blocked because they send 20 MB
