How to cold-email me (or anyone else)
Since I have been added to Angellist @venturehacks.com, I have received three times the number of “pitch emails” than I usually get. This inspired me to write this post about how to contact me or how to contact anyone you don’t know and can’t get an introduction to.

P2P Lending: Prosper.com vs. Lending Club – an experiment
I have been intrigued by peer-2-peer lending for a while .
So, last night I signed up with both prosper.com and lendingclub.com and I will post my experience and impressions from time to time.
My goal for this experiment is to further understand p2p lending, evaluate if it could be a viable investment for a larger amount and achieve a net return of LIBOR + 6% – so currently about 6.5% . I don’t really believe the %-returns both sites advertise: 7% to 14% – we’ll see.
Read my first impressions and status so far >>
