# Outreach Angles

Core rule: **Loud but true.** Unexpected is good. Deceptive is bad. Specific beats polished.

## Subject modes

### Intensity

- I want to work on {company} until I drop dead
- I can't stop thinking about {specific product/problem}
- Let me work on this

### Honest cold email

- This is a cold email
- Probably a long shot
- Can I send you a few projects?

### Technical hook

- Your {demo/post/repo} broke my brain a little
- Question about {specific technical thing}
- I read your post on {topic}

### Founder energy

- Do you need another obsessive builder?
- I think I can be useful
- Small ask from a young builder

## Agent rule

For strong targets, generate:

1. normal/direct version
2. weird/loud version
3. brief cringe-risk note

Lead with the company's interesting work. Use Ryan's projects only as supporting evidence when directly relevant. Do not default to Ezcaptain or the physics project.
