Bill – by Ben Horowitz
About 7 years ago, I'd read about Bill Campbell's reputation as a tech coach and mentor.  I cold emailed him a pitch deck for a startup I was working on, and asked if he could help.  He actually took the time to politely decline, which I thought was quite nice for someone in his position.His response...>> Michael,>> Thanks for the message.  You seem to have a working idea... but I cannot help you with this.>> I am totally swamped with current companies and simply do not have the time to work with another.>> Sincerely,
>> Bill
