- Find meet ups in your major metropolitan area.

- Your 2nd and 3rd degree networks are bigger than you imagine, you can absolutely get a warm intro.

- Forgo all investment and bootstrap.

Often that’s because spam filters tend to filter out unsolicited emails. DM’s work similarly.

Getting a warm intro requires resourcefulness. That’s a skill investors value. If a warm intro is too much work, then building a startup will be too.

Of course if you build something interesting investors may look for you…and you will need a good spam filter to filter distractions. Good luck
