Jay built an entire career on the back of bold, thoughtful cold emails. Recently featured in Forbes, he's turned writing to strangers on the internet into a repeatable system for finding mentors, collaborators, and opportunities.

He's also the author of You Can Just Do Things, an Amazon best-seller that shows you how to move fast on ambitious ideas without waiting for permission. In this hackathon, Jay will review your emails, push you past safe writing, and help you send messages that people can't ignore.

Farza previously founded Buildspace and grew it to 125,000+ students around the world. Behind the scenes, a lot of that momentum came from honest, high-signal cold emails sent to builders, creators, and investors.

He's known for turning side projects into movements and companies by reaching out to people who seem "out of reach" and giving them a reason to care. During the hackathon, Farza will help you write emails that sound like you, not a robot - and that actually get replies.
