Tipps for Beginners
Reach out to people you already know
‣
You never know where it may take them - maybe you have already met the next CEO from a successful company.
‣
Go to the meet-up, go to the high-school-reuninion: See what you‘re friends have become! You have not talked to them in a while, but they are still friends and you directly have something in common to talk about.
‣
If you‘re friends are connected to people you want to meet just ask them to introduce you

Be a Giver - Not a Taker
I try to find ways to add value — whether that be in the form of connections or advice. Even if the person has more experience than you, I try to incorporate my different worldview and viewpoint that could be an interesting contribution. I truly believe if you help another entrepreneur without any expectations, it will come back to benefit you. – Judy Yu (Founder of Prosh)
