I attended a VC dinner event a few years ago. A networking session followed. I felt shut out of conversation by most of the "money" folks and a few aggressive MBAs.

The only two polite people were 1) an open source developer and 2) a guy who turned out to be YC alum. Neither wanted anything from me, and both offered good advice.

Perhaps it comes from the top. Thanks.
