👋 Hey - Egemen here. |
Wild week. |
A startup raised $32M, I found the one cold email that actually worked on me, tried GPT-5 (mixed feelings), and found a hack to post without burning out. |
Here's a snapshot of what's on the menu today: |

🧠 Deep-Dive: A Message I Replied |
I am lucky enough to get more emails & messages that I can reply to. |
But that comes with a problem, I can't reply to most of them. Actually, forget about replying, I can't even read every single one of them because most of are either irrelevant bots, promotional messages, or people trying to sell me something, constantly. |
It's just impossible, and I lose a lot of context. If you have a solution that solves this problem, please reply to this email and let's chat. I'll be your customer. |
Well, something different happened this week, I replied to a message as soon as I received it: |
|
Short, honest, easy to read. Tells me what she does, gets me interested in what value she can provide for me. Ends with a clear call to action "Open to chat?" |
No paragraphs, no pervasive words, no fluffy phrases, no BS, no ChatGPT.
Just good old direct communication. |
If you're struggling with your cold outreach response rate lately, think about this. |

"If you and I are planning a trip, or if we're trying to figure out what to have for dinner, or what movie to watch, all of these things can be facilitated by an LLM participating in a group chat with us," the founder said. |
Interesting problem to solve. |
