Tip - First step to a successful pitch is to know who you're emailing

With that in mind, the first step to a successful pitch is to know who you're emailing

It's time consuming to pitch multiple people your startup. It's much easier to send one mass email and bcc everyone.

Don't do this. If you want someone to spend time on you, spend time on them.

Find the recipient on Twitter and read something they've tweeted recently. Use LinkedIn to find out where they went to school and see if you have that in common.

Don't go on and on about what you know about..... ALYSON SHONTELL
