ASK HN: How to Make Connections?

1 pointsTanishmittal5mo ago6 comments

Hi, I am trying everything possible to create a genuine connection, but I'm unable to. I post on social media, Reddit, message on YC, and more. But still not able to make. Like Most of the people never respond. What should I do? I am making my startup in finance, so I need connections in order to do things further.

Thank You.

If you want “genuine connection”, there is no surrogate for in person meetings. You very likely won’t ever get that from any online portal.

You mean I have to go for physical meetups?

It does not necessarily have to be organized meetups, but you need physical presence if you actually want to form any deeper connections, in my experience.
