This is a great cold email and I agree with your call outs. I like that it was short and sweet and that they "did their homework", it felt personalized vs. generic and they offered to be helpful. Nice one!
Loved reading this. First post on my LinkedIn feed this morning was a startup founder complaining about all the spam sales messages that inundate his inbox (and I totally agreed). Final post on my LI feed was a link to this article where you took the time to break down a well-written cold email. It just shows that personal notes outperform mass emails. It's not about volume. It's about actually making a connection with another person.
When you say that you didn't respond to his offer, does that mean that you didn't respond at all or just responded by declining?
to be honest, I didn't respond at all (was very backlogged from our launch and it wasn't a priority). but then I met him a week later and now we have a friendly email thread open :)
