Thank you so much Marten for your direct response!
I'm sorry if my post came out as at all harsh. I respect what you guys are doing. I just had those honest reactions to the communication I got.
Maybe putting some general pointers on getting started in emails like this for really small companies would come across as a bit less threatening? That way, you can be the guide early on, then we can become partners later when we have the scale.
Good luck with your build!
