Someone just came and delivered an absolutely massive cake to our office as a pitch for their company.
Definitely one way to get attention! Who wants some cake? 🎂

Sent 7 cakes to a16z, Sequoia, Index Ventures and more. Got 5 partner meetings.

Last week we had our office warming. Walked in and someone had sent us a cake from a company called daymaker. Genuinely the best pitch I've seen this year. Took the meeting before I'd finished a slice.
"…started sending cakes to strangers instead of cold emails."

Pick your target.
Pick as many VCs as you want — but each VC can only ever receive 2 cakes a month, total, across every founder. Once both slots are gone, they drop off the map. Prices unlock when you sign in. The 20 biggest funds (YC, Sequoia, a16z, Founders Fund, …) need a pitch application before we ship.
how this actually works
2 cakes per month per VC. We don't want to annoy them.
