SalesPersona email

Cold email to a startup founder

Use to reach a busy founder who values speed, candor, and a clear payoff over polish.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Write a cold email to a startup founder who reads on mobile, hates fluff, and respects directness.

My offer: {{offer}}
The growth or pain lever it pulls: {{lever}}
Why now matters for their stage: {{timing}}

Constraints:
- Under 60 words.
- One idea, one ask.
- Sound like a peer, not a vendor.
- The CTA is a casual interest check, not a calendar link.
Founders smell automation, so make the personalization line specific and real. Give 2 subject lines that look like they came from a human, lowercase optional.
