I'm bad with business relationships, because I like to be direct, and not skirt around. However it's clear I haven't find the right product market fit to grow.
Is it okay to reach out to partners with an open ended ask for a partnership? How would you go about this? My goals would be trying to find out what they need, and what problems they may have.
You can ask someone whatever you’d like, whether they respond or not is something else.

I don’t understand what value you’re trying to provide here? Emails that get the most response are ones that are extremely specific or you know what you can fix.
