"academic who hasn’t built anything, yet feels comfortable telling you to use their complicated startup framework to find and validate ideas." - Is this aimed at me 🥲?

Haha not intentionally, wasn’t thinking of you here, as I’m pretty sure you’re not advocating complicated nonsense. That said you should build a startup!

I did, 10 years ago, and I failed, so luckily not fully without experience. I have yet to encounter a problem or idea that tickles me with enough excitement to pursue it.

Rob, what if you have a hypothesis, do cold outreach to talk to them, and no one replies?

I’ve sent maybe 200 outreach emails, but got no replies. What should I do in this case?
