As a solo entrepreneur, should I send cold emails from my personal email, or my startup's email?

I'm about to get started on this and I can't decide.
What's been your experience?
Why should I choose one over the other?

startup domain will give you more credibility, definitely go with that one.
Are you using Outlook by any chance? You can send more emails compared to G Suite (2,000 emails via Outlook vs 400 via G Suite).
If you will go with Outlook, feel free to take a look at the extension we're working on - https://chargemyemail.com/
P.S. Don't forget to warm up your email address before launching cold outreach!

@svitlana_palamarchuk these are great tips!
Not using Outlook yet, but I think I will now after hearing that.
And I might be using your Chrome extension...looks helpful!
Thank you!
Be careful! If your startup's domain address is new, you might burn your domain if you start sending a lot of cold emails. Limit to <10 per day if you are sending from a new address.

@hi_marizsa 🤔 never thought of it that way. Could you elaborate?
@psd POV: By using an @domain account, businesses can demonstrate that their emails are coming from their official domain and are not fraudulent or malicious. It helps create a recognizable and consistent brand identity, which can enhance customer confidence and engagement with the marketing messages.
#RedAlert. None of them.
You should never, send Cold Email from your business connected domains (that includes your personal/identity domain).
Cold Email should always be sent from burner domains (these are domains that look similar to your business domain).
Eg, our SaaS is at https://mutantmail.com , so I would use "usemutantmail.com", "trymutantmail.com", "getmutantmail.com" or something similar to send cold emails.
And as a founder to founder, I would love to help you with discount on https://mystrika.com (our complete cold email tool).
