great, this helps no one

well, this helps people who're having trouble finding out public facing email addresses of investors at various VC firms. thought i'd make it easier for founders to reach out to GPs and angels who'd wanna talk.

yeah but all you'll cause with this is spam and they open doors will close. let founder do the work and figure it out themselves.

duly noted. I agree it's worth specifying the methodology.

that's a very one dimensional way of looking at it. investors made it public, knowing full well that they'd get a bunch of emails. that's what they want too.
