Problem: Events and industry conferences cost a ton of money.
Solution. Help others get their ROI while we also execute #HTMMWYMM [How to Make Money While We Make Money |

Problem: A conference is an assembly of execs who do no prior homework. Almost every VC is a piker who just does the minimum amount of work.
Solution. Pre-Roll and Prepare to win the conference. |

Problem: Even great industry conferences have zero awareness and sell the majority of their tickets LAST MINUTE
Solution: #EUTWMPPM |

Problem: A conference “scholarship” just makes people lazy where they just show up. And do no prior homework
Solution. Pretend you had to spend $10,000 |

Hosting a local “Pre-Networking” party in your random city prior to New York City
For example, in SF I hosted an event prior to *New York Fashion Week*. It culminated in my dancing with Olivia and meeting my @toryburch at her Amex Gala and getting shot by @PatrickMcMullan #NYFW pic.twitter.com/ES40NZPczX |
Download twitter to see Olivia’s picture

Guess how many people came to my Eventbrite event in SF?
Answer: Not many. (And I’m famous) Guess how many are going to come to your event? |

Your first event will be
– an UnOfficial #AfterParty in your local city – preroll for the conference you’d attend if your company were making $3,000,000/month Both. Mutually inclusive of BOTH. [#DJapi, 2 #ExternalAPI’s together for one crappy little event you do] |

BIG Problem: You’re gonna wanna hire someone to do all these details
Solution. You cannot delegate this core function. You can’t outsource distribution or you will die. D is For Distribution which is #cs183d which @StanfordEng skipped. Save yourself. Save 🐶 pic.twitter.com/OfrvRN0NlE |
