📢 Hey Founders, Here’s What Makes a Great Cold Inbound Email Cold inbound emails are usually ignored, but recently we received one that stood out. Here’s the breakdown of the A+ cold email: 👉 Direct and Concise: The email delivers a clear, succinct message about the venture. By using examples i.e. Uber for helicopters, the purpose becomes crystal clear. 👉 Personal Touch: By starting with appreciation for Leverage's passion and acknowledging their track record, the founder showed genuine interest. It's not just about the ask; it's about building a connection. 👉 Easy to Read: No unnecessary jargon or lengthy paragraphs. The email got straight to the point without overwhelming the recipient. 👉 Metrics for Reliability: The founder did not just tell; they showed. Numbers speak volumes, and the venture's achievements are presented as a testament to their potential. 👉 Non-aggressive and Inviting: The call to action is friendly and open-ended. It's an invitation to a conversation, not a forceful push for immediate action. 🚀 Why It Works: We appreciated the thoughtful approach and transparency. The metrics give a sense of credibility, and the personal touch makes it clear that this is not a generic inbound. This founder just secured a meeting. 🔍 Key Takeaway for Founders: When reaching out, think about how you can genuinely connect. Be clear, concise, and let your achievements do the talking. Remember, it's not just about the ask; it's about building relationships. What do you believe separates the great cold inbound emails from the rest? Share your thoughts! 👇 #StartupLife #Entrepreneur #VC #VentureCapital

Shout out to Aggero and Cristian Manea (Hiring)(founder) for what they have built. Great to see them featured in UKT News! Another instance where a product obsessed founder built a kick-ass product that is 10x better than anything on the market. Proud to be an investor! Here is the TLDR version: 🎮 Aggero is revolutionizing the live stream video analytics space! They are on an incredible journey in the esports, gaming, and live-streaming industry and are beginning to expand into other industries. 🚀 “Real-time data collection from streams enables brands to secure better partnerships and provide valuable insights to sponsors . . . . The unique selling point of Aggero lies in its utility for both brands and gamers. By providing a platform where users can create, manage, track, and measure sponsorship and influencer campaigns” #Aggero #LiveStreamAnalytics #EsportsInnovation #GamingRevolution #StartupSuccess #DataDrivenInsights 📈 https://lnkd.in/gzHcaBfJ
Is Video Streaming Analytics the Future of Esports Monetisation in the UK?

LeverageVC reposted this
I've worked with many founders before. What I learnt is that everyone has ideas, but only some ideas have great people. Abtin Buergari is one of those rare serial founders who is product obsessed and completely lacks the ego that a 3x exiting entrepreneur usually carries. I don't know if I am supposed to say this publicly as a VC, but writing checks is boring. The fun begins when you are actually in the arena, strategizing, hacking, building and even helping put out the fires (read Hard thing about hard things by Ben Horowitz). Having already seen the growth in both revenue and product since we met a couple of months ago, I have no doubt that I can look forward to celebrating many wins with Abtin and his incredible team.
