Ask HN: How to propose a partnership with a startup?

1 pointMojoJolo3 comments

I have a startup and would like to propose a partnership with other startup. How can I approach them?

Is cold email alright? What if I don't know their email? Can I just use Twitter to contact them?

Do I need to present the necessary documents already? Or just a short message about my proposal is enough?

Sorry for too many questions. But yeah, how to propose a partnership with a startup?

In my experience startups have very little extra resources - you can't simply lay some documentation on them and expect it to "go to the right person". Why don't you pick up the phone and talk with them?

I agree completely with this. Additionally I wouldn't worry about the formality of the approach – if pinging them on Twitter is the best way to get the right person on the phone or out to a coffee - then ping them on the Twitter.

I think email is more possible to contact them. I don't have their contact number, and I live in a different country.
