Contact Initial Finds
A real person reads this.
If a page gave you language for something, a tool raised a useful question, or you see a thoughtful way our work could connect, I would like to hear it.
You do not need a polished pitch. A clear note is enough.
What to send
Three kinds of notes are especially useful.
Specificity helps. Tell me what you read, used, noticed, or are considering—and what would make a response useful.
A point worth clarifying.
Ask about an Initial Finds idea, framework, glossary term, tool, guide, or next step.
Something the work revealed.
Share a reaction, correction, lived example, or pattern the site helped you name more clearly.
A grounded collaboration.
Propose an interview, partnership, resource, or project when the fit is specific and mutual.
What to expect
Thoughtful, human, and appropriately bounded.
Initial Finds is growing deliberately. That means the answer may not be immediate, but it will not be automated theater.
- Response time: allow a few business days for a thoughtful reply.
- Privacy: do not include passwords, account credentials, financial details, or sensitive medical information.
- Scope: Initial Finds offers educational resources, not emergency, medical, mental-health, legal, or financial services.
- Fit: generic sales pitches, mass outreach, and unrelated link requests may not receive a response.
