Hello! Sorry for intruding! I’m a product manager and a founder; I have spotted 1-2 PhD researchers who focus on the topics that I want to explore. I have found their articles on pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. How do you think I should approach you for a consulting call? Do you care about money, helping people, or anything else? What should I mention to catch your attention? Thank you so much!

Most of us care about helping people, but much fewer got enough free time. So, the same with other consulting, money would be the way to go.
What’s in it for the academics? If the answer is a warm inner glow, money is better. If there’s a possible industry partnership, commercialisation opportunity or something else that universities care about, then you might lead with that.
