WEEK ZERO: DAY ONE
What will you do?
“Dear ___,
Saw your excellent presentation at ___. I liked the Q&A and learned a bunch of new things.
I have a favor to ask. I’ve joined a NY startup, ___. We’re just starting, and I am hoping to do things ‘right’ from the start. I was wondering whether I could borrow someone’s time at ___ next week (yours or someone who works for you) and maybe bring 1-2 people with me to see how your code and tooling is organized.
-Me”
