Why? The only way to replicate it is basically "do good work and network". I'm not going to be able to give you any secret sauce (because there is none, not because I don't want to).
- pas 7y agoNo, no, I'm not interested in the secret sauce, just ... I find it hard to think it through in my mind how deals are made at conferences.
- ido 7y agoQuite often it's not the deals that are made in conferences but the relationships (the "network" part). You hang out with a lot of people in the same industry as you, you get to know & be known by them. And invariably when you know dozens/hundreds of people in the same field somebody usually needs some work done & is more likely to give that work to somebody they met in person vs someone anonymous off of the internet. The "do good work" part is where you turn this into a snowball & get recommended around.
