In March 2023, I cold-emailed the CEO of my favorite startup. I thanked him for his work and then pitched ways I could help grow the company. 3 months later, I was hired as a growth marketing intern. Since then, I’ve helped and observed Tyler Denk and the beehiiv team raise a $12.5M series A, grow to 150k+ users, and reach $5M in ARR. Before that cold email, I curated what I like to call a “portfolio of unique experiences online”. I grew multiple YouTube channels to 15k+ subscribers, grew an Instagram page to 120k+ followers then sold it, and created and marketed several digital products (all while balancing high school and sports). Nowadays, I write essays about startups, entrepreneurship, and life on my personal blog, ghostwrite content for busy founders, and grow tech startups.
