seems like solid advice. it's sad but true, in our foray into the SV world we've realized that without our few, lucky family-friend contacts we'd still be somewhat lost.
it's amazing how a little experience-tempered advice can really jumpstart your creative motor, and get you not only working, but working in a productive manner.
i can't tell you how many brick walls we've hit and how valuable it was to have someone show us the easy way around.
- dfranke 19y ago> sad but true BS. The "it's not what you know, it's who you know" maxim may be true, but it's myopic. Who you know is, to a great degree, a function of what you know. I consider myself well-connected for someone my age, but I didn't get that way through luck or through family ties. I did it by studying interesting problems and thereby meeting smart people who otherwise would not have given me the time of day.
