Moved to North Carolina a few months ago. Decided to go to a "startup tech expo" where thousands of people were going to attend with investors galore. Went to go check it out because why not? After all, its free!
Made a ton of connections!
Wait.. I made zero connections.
There were about 150 people in total and 90% of the companies with a "table" had nothing to do with software or tech. I made a quick round, saw a bunch of circle jerkers and decided to book it. Just about zero value was being provided. Just mouth foamers wanting to join the "startups" there by passing around their resumes or lawyers and insurance agents wanting to get me as their next big client.
I did get a chuckle out of a guy running around handing out business cards to anyone and every one who would take one. He wouldn't even say hello, he'd just stick it in someones hand or throw it on a table. You know how many calls he probably got the next day? Zero would be my guess.
