Seems to be less 'networking is overrated' and more 'networking events are overrated/don't work'. Which makes sense. Those events tend to be about 99.99% desperate business people try to sell you something, and don't really attract the attention of anyone they'd need to attract nor the level of genuine closeness you'd need anyway. It's like the offline equivalents of those 'promotion forums' and subreddits you see online; absolutely depressing as hell because no one cares about anything other than selling themselves and no one in their actual market is around to take them up on the offer. In the same way you can't create the next Facebook by solely marketing to people who want to create the next Facebook, you can't make useful connections from events where everyone has the same self centred goals. |

Yeah there were a few pyramid schemes and coffee places at ours, but there were a few people looking to problem solve.
But I dont think anyone was successful. I'm looking for a experienced business mentor, lawyer, or co-engineer. None to be found.
