On Monday evening @ArielleGSamuels asked me what my favorite tech event was. I said, 'Tomorrow's' - because every year, @ceonyc's @shakeshack New York tech party is THE MOST FUN EVER. This year's was the 15th! What's not to like about hanging out with old friends and making new ones in the amazing New York tech community, in @MadParkNews on a beautiful sunny evening, accompanied by Shake Shack burgers, concretes and rose?! So lovely to see Charlie, wife @AjaSinger (but sadly not 3-year-old daughter Mirrin, whose attendance was the highlight of the event two years ago), @bethferreira @MFResente @arctictony @peachfiremomo @sutiandong dawn barber @HMason, and to meet Ryan Urban Américo Arias, @UzoAmuzie Keith Spence and @huangkuan 😍 A big thank you to sponsors @KPMG @Stifel @645ventures @BloombergBeta @ComcastVentures Contour Venture Partners @FirstRound @flybridge @generalcatalyst @greycroftvc @InspiredCapital , @LaconiaCapital @DavidSRose @RRE @TwoSigmaVC and whoever the anonymous VC firm is that has apparently sponsored every single one of these without getting any public credit... ❤️ We all left well-fuelled for The Big Debate!

How do you stand out from hundreds of applicants for that tech job? With a thoughtful (and specific) message. In my conversation with @riklomas Founder & CEO of @superhi_ he explained how, of the many cold emails he gets the ones that stand out:
