you can get into rooms where you don't belong it's weird being young in the startup scene, because i've achieved virtually nothing. yet i often find myself in the same room as founders worth millions, investors who've worked with some of the biggest companies in the world, and famous content creators i'm 16 and when i first got into tech i had ZERO direct connections in the startup scene but i learned you can literally just do things i started cold emailing my favorite creators and founders asking to chat i started posting online i started applying for things i wasn't AT ALL qualified for for example, i applied to unfounders on a complete whim, and i ended up being flown out to TECH WEEK by a16z and getting to pitch in front of hundreds of ppl. in the photo below, we're pitching to Nick Small from Sperm Racing and Richard Zheng from Andreessen Horowitz literally just send that cold email. apply for that program. ask your fav creator to meet up cold outreach has an insane ROI. warm intros are even better. try Boardy to get warm intros to top founders and investors.
