unfounders

you can get into rooms where you don't belong it's weird being young in the startup scene, because i've achieved virtually nothing. yet i often find myself in the same room as founders worth millions, investors who've worked with some of the biggest companies in the world, and famous content creators i'm 16 and when i first got into tech i had ZERO direct connections in the startup scene but i learned you can literally just do things i started cold emailing my favorite creators and founders asking to chat i started posting online i started applying for things i wasn't AT ALL qualified for for example, i applied to unfounders on a complete whim, and i ended up being flown out to TECH WEEK by a16z and getting to pitch in front of hundreds of ppl. in the photo below, we're pitching to Nick Small from Sperm Racing and Richard Zheng from Andreessen Horowitz literally just send that cold email. apply for that program. ask your fav creator to meet up cold outreach has an insane ROI. warm intros are even better. try Boardy to get warm intros to top founders and investors.

Finally met ALL of the Cluely C-suite. Last but NOT least — Daniel Min, CMO of Cluely! Two months ago, I started my journey on LinkedIn. One of my biggest goals? Meet the masterminds behind Cluely. And now, I’ve met every single one of them. -> But meeting them isn’t the goal. Leaving a MARK is. This is JUST the beginning. I’m going ALL IN on startups. Fully committed to building, learning, and showing up. I don’t know exactly where this path leads. But I know I’ll LOVE every second of it. Comment “STARTUP” if you think I can do this. 📸: Me and Daniel Min at the unfounders demo day!!
