Thanks for your response. I've been doing this for 30+ years and have been in emerging technology so I get to see a lot of things very early and so yeah, over time, some of these connections have been very impactful financially. Sometimes they resulted in people becoming best friends or even spouses. In fact, I had no idea I was responsible for a friendship dating over a decade until they reminded me, I was the reason they knew each other. I am humbled and grateful to hear a thank you like that.
There are reasons why connection is often forgotten as something to be valued. We just don't realize that people often are the impetus and there's not really a formal way to say thank you if a connection lead to something beneficial.
Because of the way things are structured, especially in American VC, it's actually not even legal to help companies raise capital or be rewarded for a funding event if you're not registered as a broker dealer. So if I can just help, I try to. VCs often do not want to pay people for business deals that generate revenue even though that's what internal sales people do. Yet if you sold a house or are a talent agent representing an artist or athlete in LA, it's understandable that there's a commission. I get why it's different to protect people from bad investments. And, we currently do a lot of things to protect us that often just curtail our freedoms.
There are ways we can shift this in the future.
I'm still learning and looking out for the best options to celebrate connection and seriously, just the acknowledgement and thank you for what connection brings is a great first step to start the dialogue.
