WHO IS THE SUPER CONNECTOR?✓ SCSV is Carol Sands, managing partner

✓ Awesome, guests (Tom Le Fev) content, overall brilliant

✓ Heartfelt thank you, asked me to be IIR

✓ Presented to 27 partners of TAF (eg. CEO Wallmart, bank presidents), USVP boardroom, Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park

TAF, IIR, WHAT WE LOOK FOR✓ Located in SF

✓ Clearly understand what you do

✓ Great team, unfair competitive advantage (IP)

✓ Big TAM (Total Addressable Market)

✓ Must have not a need to have

✓ Validated value proposition: users, customers, revenue

✓ Little things mean everything (Aussie wallet)

✓ Follow up business cards with a same day email

✓ Say thank you, let people know you respect them. Thank you landed me a job in The Angels Forum

✓ Blending in is out, standing out is in! Be true to who you are

✓ Ask for soft/warm introductions to persons of interest. People hop until you get to where you want (hustle, hustle, hustle)

✓ Single most important takeaway: If a builder from Brisbane can join TAF imagine what you can do during your time in SF
