Use your natural network first. Ask your friends to make intros for you. Once you have a decent conversation with those people they can recommend you to other people they have worked with in the past.

People will treat outreach on linkedin as spam, because it is. They don't know you and you want info out of them, with little in it for them.

Appreciate the reply. So does this mean that people without network can't find traction unless you are get into top accelerators like YC?

What if I am just software engineer by trade and can build but does not have much in Sales/Marketing field?
