Marc Andreesen will chat with you on Twitter. Short replies, but at least he notices. Be compelling, even if you are on the wrong side of the world.

- minimaxir 10y agoThat is not a good example of VC access since a) Andreessen quit Twitter a month ago and b) Andreessen is so infamous for blocking people on Twitter for having dissenting opinions that it was a meme.

- gregpilling 10y agoFair enough. My exchange with him on twitter was minor and over a year ago. Other VCs are on twitter, as are people in their networks. I think that it is inauthentic to claim that there is no access to VC. You could reach them from the South Pole or anyplace that can get mobile data. The tough part is to stand out, not to get 5 seconds of time. in the video he says that they fund 20 out of 2000 warm introductions, and probably 20,000 cold ones. This challenge applies to all entrepreneurs though, those in San Jose and the South Pole. Only 20 will get chosen.
