Three ways to say it
“hi my name is [name] and i'm the founder of [thing], i've been following your work for a while and i really admire what you're doing, i'd love to hop on a quick call sometime if you have 15 minutes”

You've likely tried [thing] to solve [pain]. We do it 3x faster. Worth a 15 min look?
