Short answer, conferences are not that useful unless you are on a panel/speaking etc. Recommend you focus on building grass roots. Conferences can be a part of it, but how you do conferences matters, otherwise is an expensive use of cash.


Agree with Dan.
The key questions are:
# how much do you want to invest (do you have enough to invest in ~20 companies)
# can you afford to lose it
# what is your current basis of knowledge.
# how much time do you have to learn

If you only have $10k, don't bother.

Ping people on LinkedIn and hustle. Whilst you are there plan next steps.
