Beyond your LinkedIn profile
There’s a difference between knowing what someone is like and actually having a conversation with them. A 15-minute meeting can tell you more about a founder than following their company online for weeks. Conversations with investors will help you understand what they really want. Meeting with other operators may reveal answers to challenges you thought were unique to your team.
And sometimes, it can lead to useful conversations that you weren’t planning on. Founder sitting next to you before the session. An investor who asked the question you were thinking about. These are the people you meet after the roundtable because you’re both trying to solve the same problem. That proximity is important.
Please work for 3 days
With Disrupt, you can spend months coordinating individual conversations that can take three days. So it’s not just about scheduling sessions. Schedule networking.
Use an event app to identify people you want to meet. Book 1:1. Leave space for the unexpected. Walk through the Expo Hall. Please stay for the meet-up. Talk to the person standing next to you, as one informative conversation can last longer than the entire event.
