SF is buzzing this week, but the question travels: how do you actually meet the right people (cofounders, investors, collaborators, etc.) without burning the night? What works for me: be visible (present/pitch if possible instant context), be memorable (two-liner like I spent a decade in meetings at Apple left to fix that ), and be intentional (goal: 5 useful connections, 1 investor intro keep moving every 3 5 minutes).
Here's my simple framework:
Intent Target Ask (why you re here, who you need, concrete next step).
Anchor to the moment ( What stood out from the talk? ).
Exit cleanly ( Great chat mind if I send that link tonight? ).
Email campaigns are one of the better ways to establish a more personal connection with people.
On the other hand, I understand that if someone subscribes to 5,000 newsletters, they don t have time to open let alone read all of them. As a result, they might not open your emails for an extended period (e.g., 3 months, 6 months, etc.).
Yesterday, someone posted on how they have nailed work through VAs on Reddit, and I've been curious ever since. Reddit is one channel I've spent hours on every day but never efficiently marketed. Check @nathan_may1's comment here: https://www.producthunt.com/disc...
If you don't have time between the jobs - how do you switch from a toxic environment to the new one without bringing the negativity and other psychological barriers with you?
