Changpeng Zhao, former CEO of Binance, recently shared practical tips on communicating effectively with high-level, busy individuals.
Key takeaways:
Be direct: Say who you are, what you want, and what you’re offering—right away.
Make your ask clear: “Raising $500k at a $5m valuation” is a good example.
Keep it short: Long messages get skipped.
Avoid vague questions: No “What do you think about the crypto industry?”
Don’t ask for coin reviews, meme coin shoutouts, or unsolicited calls.
He’s open to strong project pitches and feedback, especially from talented builders. If you’ve got something solid, make it easy to review—concise, clear, and actionable.
Let’s build smarter. Communicate better.
