- dejb 18y agoAnd the phone.
- vaksel 18y agoI was talking more about the fact that it took a few hours from seeing an opportunity, to finalizing the deal. Outside of SV, it would take a few weeks just to arrange a meeting. And chances are the company would end up passing on the partnership because they don't want to trust a fresh startup.
- neilk 18y agoAgreed, but it's way slower at building trust. Especially compared to the opportunities people have in the valley to socialize outside of some deal-making session.
- axod 18y agoNot in my experience, the example given was a "link exchange request". These go on all the time over email, and work pretty well. Perhaps it's just me, but I often prefer dealing with people over email/IRC/etc than face to face for a lot of things.
