    Is that first paragraph what you are reaching out to people with? Without knowing more, my initial gut reaction is if I saw an email like that I’d delete it without reading. It’s very vague and looks a lot like something everyone else sends.

    While not scalable, when starting out I think it’s really important to get as personal as possible until you’re known and your brand can speak for itself. We had a pretty vague and generic message our first week of outreach as well. We switched it up the next week and were really specific and researched on how we could help on specific projects they were doing. This increased responses greatly.



  • What defiant said is correct, having a functioning MVP up and running in two weeks is pretty unreasonable. Especially with what you are asking for. It isn’t a simple thing to make. Are the engineers you are speaking with saying that to you as well and you are pushing back on them? If that’s the case, that’s definitely why they are drifting away. If they aren’t, they probably aren’t the right person anyways. Your tech partner should be able to get you a more reasonable timeline after reviewing specs/design for an MVP.
