I’ve always been so curious when a VC or fund materializes out of nowhere and is all of a sudden all over the place, yet nobody I know in a couple decades in the industry has any idea about where they came from. Turns out they’re all just Chinese or Russian money spies!

Why it worked

Opens a question in the reader’s mind and withholds the answer until later.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
