Alex Berman started building online businesses in 2013, initially working as director of marketing at a digital agency in New York City before quitting in 2015 to launch Experiment 27 (X27), a cold email and lead generation agency that scaled to 7 figures. He has sent over one million cold emails personally, used the same outreach process to book meetings with Starbucks, Nike, Adidas, Morgan Stanley, and CAA, and claims to have generated over $12 million in direct B2B sales and over $100 million in leads for clients. His free YouTube channel, which covers cold email templates, B2B sales scripts, and agency growth tactics, has reached over 10 million people. His course catalog spans multiple products hosted on Teachable, with Cold Email University ($999, lifetime access) as the flagship and Email10k ($247/month) as the subscription-based agency growth program. The catalog also includes X10k (Twitter/X outreach, $997), LinkedInX (LinkedIn client acquisition, $997), Agency Action Plan ($997), SalesmanX ($997), Agency Lead School ($997), and IC Framework ($997, designed for non-native English speakers signing American clients). In 2022, he co-authored The Cold Email Manifesto with Robert Indries, which distills the X27 outreach system into a book and has a 4.21 average rating across 452 ratings on Goodreads. He's been featured in Forbes, Inc, Entrepreneur on Fire, and Entrepreneur Magazine. Cold Email University carries 0 verified reviews on AllPros at time of publication, which makes independent evaluation of the course difficult. Third-party reviews of Email10k note that much of the core cold email content is available for free on his YouTube channel, and that the $247 per month subscription is a steep commitment for a beginner who hasn't validated the approach yet. The 30-day refund policy on Cold Email University is a meaningful protection: Alex states students must show they've applied the process and explain why it doesn't work before requesting a refund, which sets a higher bar than a standard money-back guarantee. AllPros exists to fill this gap. With a creator who has taught over 100,000 students but has no verified independent reviews on record yet, the next wave of Cold Email University students will set the baseline score. If you've taken Cold Email University or Email10k, your review directly helps the next agency owner or freelancer decide whether it's worth the investment. Cold email outreach and lead generation
