Working on Exponent (ref: https://share.gvine.app/XEr1nrBQeKudW6Qo6), a stock exchange platform enabling creators monetise followers.

I am selectively reaching out to creators (not just any creator), but how do I reach out to them? I've sent cold emails, but I don't think it's as effective.

I don't have a big IG, Twitter, LinkedIn

How do I reach out to creators?

So I was running a startup but it got failed in June. Since then, I have been looking for a job in a startup or VC. But, there are very less openings in Business Analyst, Finance, and Investment Analyst roles.

Does anyone know startups or VCs hiring for the above roles?

Please suggest some good method for cold mailing/message to join a startup or a firm. Have reached out over mail to multiple folks but no success in converting into calls. Appreciate any suggestion or advice.

Cold mailing/message

I am building a D2C fashion brand and need to raise money (20 Lakhs) to get things off the ground. I am from Tier-I IIT and a single founder. 

I have been trying to approach investors through multiple mediums. Cold mailing / LinkedIn. But things haven't worked. 

College alumni also don't seem to respond, let alone give any warm intro. 

How should I go about the fund raising process?

1. I am having a strong problem statement, which is thoroughly validated, along with a business plan, but I am not working or starting it as I lack confidence because I don't have a team in place.

( I am an IIM graduate and currently a product manager - giving these details just to get a sense of my background, which might help in the type of suggestions from your side).


2. How can I find a co-founder/partner/core team member? Please advise me on where to look for co-founders or people that share a similar mindset.

Need Advice - How to begin working on a Idea/Startup ?

Product Manager

Hello all

I work as a software developer at a seed -> acquired startup. Total work ex is around 1.5years. I am looking for a change now. 
Till now I have applied to some bigger companies with referrals and some through job portals, only got one call till now after applying at many of them.

I want to switch gears in my application now as I want to switch as soon as possible. The next step would be cold emailing decent startups. 

Could you guys help me with my approach to cold emailing and share some best practices? I don't have much experience doing cold emails because I've gotten previous jobs either through campus/angellist like sites.

PS: The number of calls/applications is making me a bit anxious
I've tried dropping LinkedIn connect messages to a lot of recruiters and engineering managers but no luck

Job Hunt

I am looking for influencers (not Indian market) and people with great reach have made it so difficult to contact them
They are running agencies, have multiple websites
But no emails whatsoever

Anyone in content creation, please put your email

Unsolicited Advice: Put your email upfront if you want brands to contact you

Do founders even reply to cold emails . Have emailed about 30 of them but hardly one o two reverts. Are they too busy or cold emails are out of trend? Reaching out to create openings but of no avail yet. On LinkedIn these founders add lines like  my DMs are open or reach at this email address, and even after emails no response.

I wonder why !!!

Customer Success

So, I finally landed an offer with a product company as an SDE after months of struggle as a fresher. 

I hail from a circuital branch of the old IITs. Campus placements were difficult this year, so while I did interview at some good product companies (Microsoft, Amex, etc.), luck didn't favour me and I had tsettle up with a trading role with a low pay. (Other story why I decided to apply here in the first place)

Most of the news articles floating around fucked up placements at IITs are in fact true and I decided to try my hands at off-campus placements only to realise how difficult it is to get even your profile noticed (yes, even with a tier-1 college). 

So this is what I did which I believe can help freshers land a job in this difficult market:

1) Simply applying on LinkedIn esp. via easy apply won't work. There's literally thousands of applicants within a day for a job posting. So try to stand out among the crowd. 

2) Draft an excellent resume. Add things that you believe you can explain to the interviewer (doesn't matter if you've worked a lot on it, the interview is just an hour of you trying to make the interviewer believe the guy knows his stuff).

3) Know your strengths- are you good at DSA or are you good at dev. Startups would demand dev skills majorly, product companies would require DSA knowledge.

4) Start reaching out to people - very senior level people, HRs, Hiring Managers, people directly in touch with Hiring Managers, etc. Dm them on LinkedIn, cold email, and keep following up. In the case of early stage startups, directly reach out to the CTO/CEO. Sometimes, the jobs just don't get posted publicly. 

5) Don't lose hope. I've had days when I used to get a headache thinking of the future and days when I had multiple interviews on the same day. The market is just tough, you're good enough and things might take time, but you'll definitely make it through. 

I got interviews at a couple of HFTs, and a few good product companies and got an offer.
