Introducing people is easy for us, but we need some ammunition to make introductions effective. We need to be able to say not just please meet x, but please me

  At the risk of being pedantic, and because I know a large percentage of folks do not understand what you are saying, by "amazing" do you mean something with a lot of users and proof of traction? Not something that looks cool, is an incredible program, or most programmers would think is awesome? Because the average user of HN's opinion of "awesome" and yours might be very far apart.

    When I say to investors that something is good, I mean good from their point of view. Which means that users do or will love it, and the market is big.

      This is a gem of an advice.

  I think this is something that many people (Industries?) mistake about networking. Your version is better then the alternative, and both are leagues in advance of "Hi, I'm X, I might want Y from you in the future". Leagues because it's an approach that's nonsensical and belongs in the past.

  Great description. What else besides "have built an amazing y" is good ammunition for an effective introduction?

    The founders are formidable. But that's not something one can change as rapidly.
