A few years ago, I was at Techcrunch Disrupt and this guy taps me on the shoulder as I was chatting in a group. However, it’s actually worse than an e-mail—especially post-pandemic when the VC is probably still just happy to be out and about with actual humans and you’re raining on the human parade with memorized pitching.

In the end, if you’re not developing a deep bench of talented professionals who keep you on your toes, you’re bound to be disrupted. I tried to be at every event.
