How Do I Network? I often get asked about networking. What does networking look like in the startup world? How have I networked over the years? Spoiler alert: I am the anti-networker. I dislike networking and I’m not good at it. Every time I’ve tried to get serious and “network,” I get exhausted, bored, and feel disingenuous. Some folks love cocktail parties, networking events, or staying in touch with that friend from the conference 5 years ago. I envy these people. This is not me :)
Great post. I like think about networking as looking for new friends. I only really follow up with people I like and connect with. That way my network is more meaningful, and stronger overall as well.

Absolutely amazing. The focus on authenticity and avoiding the ‘shoulds’ - very inspiring!
