1. Amount raised: $5M - $10M
2. Announced on: today - 3 days ago
3. Headquarters location: your preference
4. Investor Name: @Accel, @Greycroftvc, @Sequoia, @a16z etc...
It should look something like this.
It isn’t rocket science!
1. Check for any job postings that meet your criteria. (If there isn’t a job listing for you now… it’s all good).
2. Linkedin, do you have a 1st degree connection to the company?
cont'd
3. Linkedin pt 2, go to the companies Linkedin page and look at the People tab.
Do you have any strong 2nd degree connections to any investors or employees that work at the company?
If yes, ask your connection if they feel comfortable introducing you.
cont'd
4. 4. If step 1 - 3 fail, there is still a glimmer of hope. This is step 4 because I consider it 4th down… and longgg.
Find one of the founders on Linkedin and send them a note congratulating them on the recent fundraising.
Why does this work for small seed - series A startups?
A few reasons…
1. When you’re the founder of a small startup… praise does not come often. When someone from the outside world recognizes your accomplishments it feels good!
2. Hiring is fucking hard… believe it or not… Most startups don’t have an endless pipeline of candidates
cont'd
Having someone interested in your product come inbound should hopefully constitute a conversation.
Also, I speak from experience… step 4 is how I convinced @jtdaugh to hire me for my role @LEX_Markets
A hail mary on 4th and long... but it worked!

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
