it appears to me that we could do with a founder or startup version of 'Help a Reporter Out'. a simple copy of HARO, but for people who want to say they're an 'early adopter' and for founders who want to have validation conversations or find pilot users.
maybe i don't go outside enough, but i think it would be useful. anyways, if you're someone who works in sales or marketing and you're open, i'd love to meet with you for 20 minutes. :)
