Are you hiring or know someone who is?! I appreciate your attitude, but it seems startups give us more business-focused people the cold shoulder. Or maybe I haven't found the right one ;)
- petervandijck 16y agoWriting presentations and schmoozing are not hire-able skills for a startup. However, if you can get startupX paying clients for their product, that is a hireable skill.
- c1sc0 16y agoIf said schmoozing can get you press, investment or blogging attention then I'd say that's valuable. But sure, paying customers are the best! Edited to add: a traditional powerpoint presentation may not be valuable, but if you can create a good video, slideshow or pdf and make it generate traffic to your website, that's valuable.
- c1sc0 16y agoI'll be honest and admit that a few months ago I would have given you the cold shoulder too. I just found an amazing co-founder who is the king of schmooze & I've come to appreciate the power of a good old rolodex.
