there’s one thing that people outside of sf don't understand about it. it’s how much of the sf ecosystem runs on people helping each other. not in a transactional way but genuinely. people like dev shah, bhavna, @MartinaBeg, and many others are constantly checking in, making introductions, giving advice, and showing up when needed. i also met people who took time out of busy schedules simply because they thought they could add value to my journey. people like @Scobleizer, @kushagra, ceo of key and partner at xoogler venture, and so many more people that i’ll be talking about in the coming days. between the 15-minute to 2 hour conversations and unexpected intros, i kept noticing the same pattern. the valley moves fast partly because people compress years of learning for each other. outsiders assume ecosystems are built by capital alone in sf, but that's where they're wrong. spending the last few months here made me think they’re equally built by generosity as well. small acts, introductions, and help always compound.
