> But is there a way to start building those sorts of relationships before you quit your day job? It depends on your specific job but generally you're going to have colleagues and customers. Today's customer might be a future collaborator. Today's colleague might be a future co-founder. Today's boss might one day be a buyer. For me, the CEO of a business where I was a dev eventually retired after acquisition and some years later helped me to find investors in my own startup. If he hadn't thought well of me I doubt he would have helped. You can't really plan all these interconnections, so you have to do this generally and that's a good thing.
