How to stand out as a candidate

A few tips to strengthen your outreach:

• Do your homework on the company before you reach out.?Know which roles you could be a good fit for. Include a reason why you’re excited about their specific company.
• Founders are busy – don’t waste their time with a generic email.?Instead, introduce yourself and your background, and highlight 2-3 things you’d be excited to work on at the company – and why. (Don’t expect a response if you just send the same copy/paste text to every company…)
• Don’t spam every company on the list.?Figure out what role, stage of company, industry, etc. you’re interested in, and see which companies fit. (Typically, the earlier the batch, the later the company stage - e.g. w2014 = winter 2014 batch, which is much older than s2022 = summer 2022).
• Include your resume, LinkedIn, portfolio in the email.?Founders get a ton of emails, so make you make each one count. We’ve written up our?advice on writing a great resume and standing out here .
