Have you tried pitching the b2c companies on angellist with customized proposals for how you can help them sell their product(s)?



You know, not really. You've touched on something. I wonder if part of my failing so far has been around the way I'm marketing myself. As in, 'this is who I am and my accomplishments' vs 'given my experience, this is what I can do for your startup'. Thanks for your reply


Definitely promote the value you can offer. In some ways coming from a large business is a plus- it gives you different insights that a bunch of 20 something founders may not have. You know what works really well and what doesn't in terms of operations, have experience with different types of sales channels, can help the company grow, etc. Too bad you aren't interested in B2B startups. ;)
