What I would definitely recommend all YC founders to to do is cold outreach. And I think most YC startups already do cold outreach. Cold outreach is the best channel of all. You compare everything. Facebook ads, LinkedIn ads, calls, texts, messages. You compare everything. Cold email always win. So I would recommend that 100% of them do cold outreach. I would recommend that, I don't know, probably 50% should launch a podcast. Wait a second. The cold outreach always win.
