Meetups, happy hours around conferences and events, and lean our your VC contacts they should have their own events/dinners, and can intro you to like minded founders regardless
Good Luck! Just wondering, is where is your prospecting tool getting it's information? Is the contact info from LI/ other prospecting tools?
I've used my share of prospecting tools and the main issue I've dealt with isn't technogrpahics or firmographics but rather the quality of contact info, so wondering where you get this info. Some prospecting tools, like Zoominfo, have teams that verify emails and phone numbers
Sidewalk riding can be ok if there is a clearly marked and fully dedicated bike lane on the sidewalk. Without that it’s just too dangerous for pedestrians
If your competitor is much more well known AND your product is superior to theirs and you are at the beginning of your journey there is no downside. Using their name will help ppl get what you do and help you get in front of the right audience.
Once you are a more established company, though, you really need to be able to describe your offering and differentiation independently of other companies.
