I make my own vVIP badge. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But before I made artisanal badges for my entry, I relied on a mentor and my mentors signature business recipes and my mentors insurances and assurances that there would be zero risk. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here is how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

You see old, white, good-looking, smart men who are powerful alpha males take massive chances on young and untested people. We do so because we are wayyyyy more worried about legacy than we are about anything else. (It’s the invisible “Larry Chiang inverted pyramid” that sits over Maslows hierarchy of basic shitake.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyway, we as old, Caucasian, established, legendary, white dudes wanna network with rising stars. How do you network with us?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
– Read what we wrote<\/div>\n
– think along the same lines as we think<\/div>\n
– Hive mind with us<\/div>\n
– know that Steve Jobs mentor was Edwin Land<\/div>\n
– know that Tom Brady is doing a bunch of Asian shitake https:\/\/bit.ly\/tbrady710<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
– Paul Graham WANTS to meet u. But he needs you to score a 99% comprehension on his 39 essays and one book<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the comments put his book title up after you Amazon it<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Jessica Livingston wants you to internalize FOUNDERS AT WORK. BEFORE YOU EMAIL “x @yCombinator dot com.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
– I want you to know my mentor was an old, good looking charming dude named Mark McCormack. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
– We want you to KNOW that Larry Chiang blew it with his good looking, semi old, white baseball coach: UT baseball Coach Augie Garrido. I, Larry Chiang was given a great baseball mentor. I did not value the advice. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After baseball, I didn’t blow it with my next mentor. <\/div>\n
Mark McCormack. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Speaking of really good looking, charming white dudes (and their really nice wife ROBIN, aww their 1st date was in Palo Alto)…, speaking of good looking professors of entrepreneurship…:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
