Most people know the marketing. Fewer know I ship the product. I direct AI agents in live codebases - 800+ GitHub contributions last year - deploy production LLMs, and run cloud GPU compute for ML. I trained a humanoid robot, and I hold four patents pending across gaming mechanics and autonomous robotics. Same principle every time: figure out what works, systemize it with AI, run it lean.
The companies behind the exits: Taplio, the AI LinkedIn SaaS, acquired by Lempire for $10M. Omni.us and Leadshark, built inside FirstPrinciples, a venture holding company. AR Ventures, my own holding company that built and sold B2B SaaS on a repeatable playbook. Earlier, CMO and equity partner at InspireBeats, a $16M-revenue B2B platform.

Hey there,
I’m Alex Berman. You might know me for cold email, but that’s one tool, not the whole story. What I do is build, buy, and run software companies, and the mindset never changes: find what works, systemize it, scale fast.
I started by using outbound to break into rooms most people can’t - Netflix, TV Land, Billboard artists - and turned that into a system that became The Cold Email Manifesto. Then I put it to work building and selling companies of my own. These days I run Galadon, teaching the systems I built, and I keep shipping - software, companies, and IP. When I’m not working, my wife Kate and I run Bermantown, our family content brand.
Same mindset in all of it: figure out what works, systemize it, and go.

The 30/30/50 rule breaks down cold email success into three components: 30% depends on your targeting (who you email), 30% depends on your offer (what you're proposing), and 50% depends on your deliverability (whether your emails actually land in inboxes). Most people obsess over copywriting when the real leverage is in list quality and technical setup. Get those right first, then optimize your messaging.

Cold email is only unprofessional when done poorly. Mass blasting generic templates to untargeted lists is spam. Done right, cold email is how deals get made. Executives at Fortune 500 companies respond to cold emails. Netflix, agencies billing $10M+, and enterprise software companies all use cold outreach. The difference is relevance, personalization, and having something genuinely valuable to offer.
Alex Berman's core philosophy: targeting beats copywriting. "Who you send an email campaign to is more important than the content of the email." He emphasizes hyper-specific offers to hyper-specific audiences over clever subject lines or gimmicks. His 3C framework (Compliment, Case Study, Call to Action) provides a repeatable structure that works across industries.
