I Cold Emailed Mark Cuban To Invest in My Startup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2024
- My startup, Stan, has recently picked up some major traction, and as I consider raising another round of funding, I figured it would be a helpful exercise to reach out to 25 billionaires and see how many of them I could get to invest!
Though this ended up being much more challenging than originally expected, it was super helpful for me, and my hope is that this video will provide you with the framework you need to begin your own cold emailing journey!

Hope y'all enjoyed!!! My mission is to give you a better business education than Harvard/Stanford, completely for free. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss out! :)
the most underrated youtube channel currently! Big congrats on getting that pitch!
Would love to see content on how you respond to initial email, and communication between you and Chamath during the relationship
Best life advice EVER!
Can I have teh emails? i make movies like Rush Hour
Your cold emails are INSANELY brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing it for free on you UA-cam - I saved your email examples to use at my startup 😍
Thank you so much for the kind words Mariia!!! Let me know if there's any other topics you want me to cover that could help you on your journey!
That first email subject line is how i can recognize you're a pro at cold outreach.
One of the first PM internships I applied to via email had the subject line 'Future [redacted] CEO' (it was a product they were launching) and got an interview even though I was way underqualified
Love it!!! The subject line can go a very long way!! Appreciate the support🙏
@@jayhoovyhey man the knowledge is really cool but how can I pay that student debt like is the risk worth it? Getting 200k of student debt to maybe make a successful company I mean I like risks but I don’t play stupid games
@@Greenyx4219All depends on what you do. I suggest to actually try it (for example, you want to go to business school ? = try starting your own business to see if you actually like doing it.
Also, you can get a lot of that knowledge online. Spending years of your life and having hundreds of dollars of student debt is hard when you aren’t even sure if you can pay it back.
Congrats on connecting with Chamath Palihapitiya! 👍🙌👍🙌. Looking forward to seeing the follow up video
Thanks Brian!! Follow up video coming soon :)
Chamath pumps and dumps spacs in the guise of being for the people lol
@@revl6151 haha. true... he pumped and dumped.
I consume a lot of Content and this is one the BEST videos I have seen about businesses even thought it was just focused to get responses from the Billionaires it taught us a lot.
I could listen to this man talking all day
Incredibly happy for you John! Looking forward to waking up groggy from a nap and being granted the opportunity to pitch to you in the future as well!
These videos have the perfect blend of entertainment and education. My favorite creator on UA-cam. Keep em coming John!
This is exactly what I'm attempting to do, so this seriously means so much to me :) Thanks for the support Logan!! I'll keep em coming for ya😄
Love your vid as always, super valuable showing your cold emailing process. hope to see Stan pop off 🎉
Thank you Jan! I really appreciate the support!!!
you are the man John, keep it up! being good at cold emailing is probably the most underrated skill that many successful founders have.
This is the most beautiful video on how to write cold emails, so many insights and takeaways from this. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Seriously means so much to me! Let me know if there's any other topics you want me to make videos about!
@@jayhoovy Keep at it man, also remember to take care of yourself. Excited for more content!
Congrats from Korea!
I have yet to see a piece of content that encompasses the process of writing a cold email as clearly and straightforward as you have Jay. You make it so approachable and less terrifying.
Keep up the good work!
Appreciate the support!! I'm so glad it was helpful! Let me know if there's any other topics you want me to make videos about!
Man I am so happy for you!! It's been an incredible journey!
Legend. Loved that you documented this!
Forget the cap table. This guy is epic in writing emails and the subject lines 🤘
Hey, John! New subscriber here👋🏼This video has incredible timing because I'm _literally_ getting ready to send out a bunch of cold emails to potential prospects (helping small, service-based biz owners to gain more visibility/engagement through content marketing). I loved seeing your phrasing and catchy subject lines. Keep up the good work!
Cheers Lauren! Excited for your journey - let me know how it goes!
I watched the whole video and was very surprised this video only has 46K after finishing it. Keep uploading and you'll be big.
Hey Jayhoovy, your content really inspires me. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the support!!! Let me know if there's any other topics you want me to make videos about!
These are brilliant, John. Keep up the amazing work! 🙌
Dude so much value in just this vid
the emails are so good man, thanks for this
Amazing! Following your journey and taking notes for a journey of my own after grad school.
Excited to see where your journey takes you! LMK how it goes!!
Great tips for genuine personal connection-based emails! Thanks for sharing.

You're too kind :) Appreciate the support!
What a gem! Thanks for showing the journey, this is great stuff
Thank you Christian! Thanks for being a part of the journey :)
congratulations man, really inspiring! I just did my masters in entrepreneurship at UCL, and I watch your videos for inspiration. I've yet to muster up the courage to start my own business (after failing many times in the past) and still playing it safe working for rich people :') hopefully I can be like you someday
Brilliant stuff. I’m gonna start sending more cold emails. This was really insightful on how you compose the emails.
Glad this was helpful for ya Jésus!!! Best of luck!
Thats crazy! thanks for showing us
Thanks for watching!! :)
Thanks for showing us how to write cold emails - and for other videos of yours as well! I’m a fan!
Thanks for the continued support!! :)
Generally the most inspiring/wholesome and educational video I’ve watched in a while. This video gave me the vibe of watching a version of Ryan Trahan but in a business context
HAHA! That was our inspiration Harry - Ryan is SUCH a great storyteller and SO clever and fun
So exciting!! Good luck!
thank you!!! :)
Would love to see content on how you respond to initial email, and communication between you and Chamath during the relationship
That’s so dope congrats! Pretty soon you’ll have people in your inbox pitching you ;)
Yo, this video was incredibly inspiring! Keep up the good work man
Thank you!!! Seriously means a lot to me :)
The most underrated thing about your videos is how many startup founders are in your comments. What a Community of go getters getting inspired together.
Love this!
Wow, this is incredible. LOVE this as the concept for a video, it's inspiring me for what I can create on my own channel.
Love it! That's the way!
I loved this so much!! I couldn't help but feel all the emotions with you!! I am so excited to watch Stan become the Big B!!!
Thanks for the support Yan!! Appreciate you being here for the journey :)
At the end when you said “shoot your chances” it reminds me of a quote I heard - always shoot the Moon, because even if you don’t arrive, you’ll still land in the middle of the stars.
I am doing my project managment assignment listening to this and its helping me 😅😅
Thanks for this video
hahaha nice! Glad I could help :) Thanks for supporting
Lets go!! Chamath shouting out Stan on the All-In Podcast soon??! Also your channel is so inspiring and resourceful for early-stage entrepreneurs such-as myself. Wish you all the best and continued success.
hahaha that would be sick! Really appreciate the kind words Jon! Let me know if there's any other topics you want me to cover :)
You are an inspiration Man. Thank you
That means so much to me Tomas! Thank you for supporting🙏
15:22, I love the message!
Thanks for sharing, I should try more offers.
Thank You for this video, it recharged me in continuing on the journey of entrepreneurship. I own a small food business in NY and I wanted to start a fund to buy similar businesses. I have never tried or done anything close to trying to raise a fund. But with hope, humility and courage, I am running towards my dream. Thank You
Heck ya! I believe in you!!
Stan's journey with his startup is incredibly inspiring! 🔥 It's a testament to persistence and vision, showcasing how strategic outreach to key influencers can lead to substantial growth and success in the entrepreneurial landscape.
Fun to watch, interesting and inspiring. Question: why didn’t you put next steps for closing, CTA, at the end of the email?
Always great to hear such top content. Kind regards from Germany, Michael
Appreciate the support Michael! Danke :)
@jayhoovy Thank you for this! Truly inspiring. I'm 24 and like you, started and ran a startup after school but in the nuclear industry before coming back to grad school. Hoping to come back to startups but this time in software. Will keep watching these as I prep for that journey!
Thank you for supporting Mason!! Wishing you all the best on your journey! Let me know if there's any other topics you want me to make videos about!
We need the negotiations to be on the All-In podcast
Unrelated, but I love the way you style your hair!
It’s crazy that you’re giving us all of this content for free! Keep crushing it, man.
Appreciate it Nicolas! Will do :)
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for supporting! :)
This is crazy. You really are changing the game. You don't know it yet, but you are!
Thank you tswizzle !! This seriously means a lot to me🙏
@@jayhoovy can i still work for you lol
I thought this was going to be a vain and out of touch video but it was actually hella inspiring. Even if one doesn't have the goldman Stanford creds, you can use the same research and Charme tactics to get more reachable people interested. It might be a local tradesman, a business owner, UA-camr or a mega Corp executive you want to reach - the formula is always the same. Short, relevant, respectful and a lot of them.
Appreciate you saying that!!! You're totally right, regardless of who it is, it's all the same formula :)
Straight gold.
This reminds me of that book “The Third Door”
Hi really inspiring content! Learned a lot! A question, how do you manage to get all the potential customers' emails to DM them? Any suggestions?
This is so inspiring- thank you 😊
Thank YOU for watching :)
i absolutely love your videos
Good luck, John!
Thank you Rahul!!!
This is an amazing idea you showed what you sent them, and told them what gave you this idea to connect with them ( video or message they said) and yes I love this ❤
Glad you enjoyed Angelica! Let me know if there's any other topics you want me to make videos about!
Also your post-nap reaction to Chamath's response is HILARIOUS haha. Thanks for posting the reality behind your business, Jay :)
Hahhaahah thank you! I knew it would be too good not to film
lets goooo - loved this one!!
ty Haille for being my biggest fan 😜
love your videos
Oh my god your reaction at the end LOL 😂
I think you and Chamath will make a good team! 🙏🏽
Mark understood what you meant perfectly
Is there any tips you would recommend for cold-reaching?
Thanks for the vid :(
Yooooooooooo Chamath knows what's best 🔥
Hey John, thanks for putting this video out! Really interesting to see your emails, but I'm also curious, how long did it take you to draft those? (Was it as fast as shown in the video!!!)
Thanks for supporting!! There was definitely some editing to cut some pauses, but overall this was mostly real time! There were a few folks I emailed off camera who took quite a bit longer. It just depends on how much you know about the person, what you plan to say, etc.
@@jayhoovy Insane!! Appreciate the answer, and inspiring to see your journey and the realistic look into startups. Hope to follow along as Stan becomes a Unicorn!
Jay…you’re such a natural entertainer LOL
Love the grit! I'm sure you'll crush the pitch
Thank you Benjamin!!! Currently prepping📝
Just do it! ❤
crazy ending w vid
Nice one! Congrats! A heads up before you pitch - its tee-ya not ti-ya 😄love your content and good luck!!
You're a life saver Tremaine! Thanks for catching that, and thanks for your support!!!
Epic ending. lets goooo
Hi Jay! I'm a highschool student and passionate about starting a non-profit organization. It would be extremely helpful to me and potentially your viewers as well if you created a video talking about advice and the steps of starting a non-profit. No worries if you cannot pull through!
Congrats Bro, on Stan and connecting with Chamath Palihapitiya!
Thank you Anay!!!
Did you used to have long hair back at Goldman as well?
Weirdest question but were you in Mountain View today? (Specifically Castro street lol)
Love your content! Amazing cold email writing skills. My curiosity still is about where did you get Chamath's email?
You can pretty much brute force guess anyone's email based off their company domain!
@@jayhoovy Definitely! Have done that in Sales roles during Uni. Will keep hustling and building!
I have only one Influencer Subscription and that's you, all the other few are channels. Says a lot about what you've built here
This is an amazing video. Lots of value if you can read between the lines.
Thank you Fred!! Appreciate the kind words :)
Go John and Stan! Update us on how everything goes. Keep cooking! 🧑🍳
Thank you sir!!! I'll keep you posted!
Hey man, I'm in the design industry and sometimes i think people don't find it as a necessity or priority for their business although i truly believe that i can provide help, but cannot force people into believing in my services
Since your in the startup industry and prolly have a bit of experience with design and brandin, what's your thoughts on it?
How woukd you go about reaching out and showcasing that importance if you think it's valuable service
Had a feeling Chamath would be the one to respond positively.
Why’d you delete “I’m bad at tennis but good at business?” For Serena? Felt authentic.
Lol, definitely experienced being a bit too cheeky during cold outreach etc. not everything will land all the time!
This is sweet content🎉
I’ve ended up at a lot of tables I had no business being at simply by “shooting my shot” when others didn’t. Take the chance, the worst they can say is no 💯
Sending cold email is humbling as hell 😅
Jay, I've helped small businesses sell $1.1M in a single day leveraging a digital payment terminal. What are your top priorities, as you and guys like Chaimuth, keep redefining your business. What's the next plateau, and are you happy with it? Do you or I, need to agree.
Brooooother this video was really cool😁✌️
Plus, I'm going to comment on each video that you're frckn killing it and going to make this beyond billions bro👀😁
Thank you brother☝
🔥🔥
You should try Ryan Reynolds for sure!!!
LETS GOOO
YESSIRRRR
Part 2?
