I have once contacted a CEO via Instagram on a different matter (I offered him some ideas) and he was very open and asked me to explain him in detail via email. We've even met and he thanked me numerous time for being direct with him and for my approach and analysis. I've also once offered one company to work for them because I was passionate about their product and as I was growing tired of waiting for an answer, I started following them and the founders on all social networks. Now I am invited to work with them. Point is, don't be afraid to reach out to them on their personal social networks or mail, admit why you admire them and maybe talk about their achievements a little. And then get what you want.
