Step 1: Define your strongest angle
Choose one narrow angle where your experience is clearly useful to Charles Hoskinson. Avoid broad positioning; one sharp contribution beats ten generic claims.
Use this as your foundation: Charles Hoskinson responds to concise, outcome driven outreach that respects their calendar and inner circle. The strongest entry is through Input Output leadership and research team or Cardano community and research outreach, ideally via a warm introduction from research collaborators or ecosystem builders. Lead with a one page brief tied to Cardano protocol research and ecosystem expansion and show you understand how decisions are made in Input Output. 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.
