Summary:
"Silicon Valley has a “pay-it-forward” culture where we try to help each other without asking for anything in return."
"So I’ve come up with is a method to sort out who I take meetings with."
"I now prioritize meetings with a new filter: Who is offering me something in return."
By the way, I agree with the advice provided, it's just the way the author gets to the point is a bit too winding for my simple mind :-)
- akg_67 13y agoNot being in SV, I am jealous of "pay-it-forward" culture of SV. Seattle doesn't seem to have same culture. Actually, even remotely by phone, I had better success with SV people giving me some time for discussion compared to Seattle people. Personally, I take any meeting/concall request from entrepreneurs as long as I have relevant domain knowledge and I know I can add something positive to the conversation. I invariably learn more from such discussion specially when I rehash the discussion in my mind afterward.
