Step 1: Define your strongest angle
Choose one narrow angle where your experience is clearly useful to Andre Cronje. Avoid broad positioning; one sharp contribution beats ten generic claims.
Use this as your foundation: Andre Cronje responds to concise, outcome driven outreach that respects their calendar and inner circle. The strongest entry is through core developer collaborators or developer forums and protocol communities, ideally via a warm introduction from DeFi core contributors. Lead with a one page brief tied to designing resilient protocol infrastructure and incentives and show you understand how decisions are made in independent protocol development. Offer a low lift next step like a short call, memo, or pilot, and avoid generic praise by signaling measurable upside and low operational risk.
