Perhaps I should have clarified I meant bouncing off ideas about execution and coffee chat on sharing inspiration on how they landed them against all odds.
People are busy struggling with their own execution challenges including myself. My point is they may not have to struggle alone by 1)learning from each other and 2)paying it forward.

Both are fine, but its not clear from your post which you are chasing. And clearly it kinda matters to the people you are contacting.
If you have a specific set of challenges and you're looking for advice, then say so. If you have been successful and are looking to advise others then pitch that instead.
Given that my specific industry context is different from yours, given that your experience is likely in a different country (or city) to me, I'm not really sure what you're looking for, other than being away from home and looking for people to socialize with.
Perhaps it would be helpful if you articulate your goals better.

You are assuming that the founder seeking to connect is less experienced and more desperate than the founder who is busy working on their idea and does not find the need to share anything.
Google shared the Attention paper with the world. What did OpenAI bring to the table? Tesla open sourced all their EV patents. What did BYD, KIA or Ford bring to the table?
These companies are stronger because they compete on their confidence to execute and because they make the entire ecosystem better.
In doing so they improved each other and the industry as whole. Hope this makes sense. It's not a zero sum game! :)
