This post is also partly based on my experience and discussions at AngelConf. You should always be able to reveal at least vaguely in what space your startup is. So I can help you. If you refuse to give me any information at all, then there is nothing I can do. The strength of Silicon Valley is in its network and its 3 degrees of separation (if the rest of the world lives by 6 degrees of separation, then Silicon Valley is at 3 or less). Which means that I probably know someone who knows someone who will be greatly helpful to you. Allow me to help by telling me something.
