"Hmm, this sounds a bit like "how to get an internship if you have friends/family with great connections". Not really a scaleable solution."

Actually very scalable. Social networks grow faster the further you reach. I got my first 'serious' internship thanks to my friend's girlfriend's dad. I'm from a small town and I worked at a place 2000 km away from home.
