Ever Contact Silicon Valley Startups?
So I'm launching a service with an animator friend of mine, we're doing marketing videos (think whiteboard/explainer/youtube ads etc) and we're brainstorming people to pitch our idea to.
One of the groups we've thought about contacting is "Silicon Valley" startups. Note I don't mean literally startups in the bay area, I'm just using it as a general term for VC-backed startups with huge growth aspirations.
I thought these might be good people to contact for a video service for two reasons:
1. They're backed by VC--the have money to spend.
2. A lot of them use video on their sites.
Just wanted to know if anybody here ever barked up that tree before, and how it went? I can see arguments for and against it, but ultimately it's real world experience that counts, so I'm putting it to the board.
TYIA to anyone who replies!
