How to build a network of investors from scratch — a startup hack 🛠️ 1: Organize and host “Founder x Investor” events in your area; pick high-end venues. 2: Market your events on Twitter and LinkedIn (use Luma or Partiful); send short DMs to key investors. 3: Find a few sponsors to cover event costs (venue, apps, drinks). 4: Run event, intro yourself to group. You now own the list; nurture relationships with key investors. 5: Repeat quarterly. — Sample marketing below. This event drew more than 150 RSVPs and 100 attendees at Spring Place NYC.

It was like speed connecting but for entrepreneurs. 🔥 Casie's Nexus Meetup was a great mid-day break. The "speed connecting" format blew me away with its efficiency and impact. I met some exceptional people at the meetup - passionate founders, investors, and creative minds! The conversations were capped at 5 minutes and gave us enough time to do quick introductions. Met some quality people. Again reinforcing that a good concept (speed connecting) is only as powerful as the connections. Casie's network is high caliber and thus pulled together something really special. Check it out below if you want to sign up and get involved with the next one.

Hunting down insights and connections from business leaders outside of Utica! I would jump the train from the Utica train station to NYC, trying to network and attend events. But now Upstate Venture Connect is bringing all that to CNY. Melissa Pegus is one of those people I would travel to meet. But now you can meet her at MVCC's thINCubator.
