Subject: T420: Community-Owned Robotaxi Infrastructure (Solana DePIN + RWA)

Hi [Name],

I'm [Your Name], founder of T420 - we're building the infrastructure for 
community-owned robotaxi fleets on Solana, combining RWA tokenization 
with DePIN mechanics.

Quick thesis: Tesla will open robotaxi access, but only the wealthy will 
own fleets. T420 lets communities pool capital to own fleets and share 
profits - making the Tesla Network accessible to everyday investors.

We're raising a $1.5-2M seed round and believe [FIRM] is a perfect fit 
because [SPECIFIC REASON - their DePIN thesis / mobility focus / etc].

Would love 20 minutes to share our pitch deck and demo.

Best,
[Name]
