How to build your network as a VC - Venture Capitalist
summary
Panel describes how VCs actually win deals: build two networks — founders for deal flow and institutional LPs for capital — by doing events, cold outreach and visible personal branding; claims include ~40 meetups across Asia, helping projects raise ~$1.5M, and an example of ~100x return after early investment; investment theses focus on real-world assets and decentralized social networks plus infrastructure, tokenomics and PR/marketing as practical value-adds.
