At mixers, meetups, summits, conventions.
There is no plug-and-play solution or protocol for you to engineer into the organization.
You have to talk, wine and dine, and be part of professional groups with the same people to then try to pull them into it.

- vmception 4y agoOr don’t run a business you can’t do yourself That’s where we’re at right now. You really don’t want a clueless bizdev manager person. This group of people have no qualifications and making up unrelated metrics of validation is their job. “So and so was a lawyer, so I trust their attempt at this obscure engineering problem” is the kind of logic this group will try to sale you on, and theyre going to trainwreck you to their clients the same way. Finding a good one for you doesnt come from apps. It comes from human relationships.
- silexia 4y agoI have been to many of these events and most of the people are worthless at best and predators that will destroy you at worst. If you want to build something, you're not going to do it at a conference. Get into your garage or room and get to work.
- vmception 4y agoYeah you can’t go looking (similar to dating logic), and conventions (conferences) are last in that list for a reason. Its not an equally weighted list. Summits (as a concept but not all implementations) in my experience has a higher signal rate, as the attendees are all participants too, and pretty much requires being entrenched in a somewhat tight knit professional group already.
