Definitely important! The first testers of your product are your colleagues, friends and acquaintances, aren't they? So why not try it out on professionals from your strong network? Their feedback will give you a big growth point.

A strong network is startup gold, providing connections, advice, and a superhero team to help you conquer challenges and achieve greatness.

"At some point in time, your network becomes a part of your net worth." I truly believe in it and I have seen it before my eyes as well. Being talented and building great stuff is one part of the equation. The other side is the distribution where our network plays a key role.

I'd put a great deal of importance on this. There's a reason some folks can raise millions with just an idea and a bit of pedigree over others who may be in a similar boat but not have strong network effects.

As an engineer, I overlooked the importance of networking in the startup world. Now, I've realized its value and would love to hear tips from fellow Hunters on effective networking strategies.

Having a strong network is crucial in the startup world. It opens doors to opportunities, collaborations, and valuable insights. Building connections with industry experts, mentors, and fellow entrepreneurs helps in gaining support, guidance, and potential investors. A strong network provides access to resources, market knowledge, and potential customers. It fosters growth, accelerates learning, and increases visibility in the startup ecosystem. Ultimately, a robust network increases the chances of success by connecting founders to the right people and opportunities that can propel their startup forward.

Having a strong network in the startup world is like having a cheat code in a video game - it might not guarantee success, but it definitely makes the journey easier and more enjoyable!

Very Very important I think so. Strong network brings a lot of opportunities, resources and provide a collaborative support that can accelerate growth and increase the chances of success.

It's very important for sure. I would say the two paths to success would be a strong network and/or being so good you can't be ignored. Always better in combination.

extremely! definitely makes the journey better!

A strong network is key in the startup world. It unlocks opportunities and valuable connections for your success.

When you're starting a business, it's important to have people who can support you through the ups and downs. Your network can provide you with emotional support, as well as practical advice and help.

I think it's kind of a cushion on which you can land and won't hurt yourself, it's definitely an important part of the startup world.

Super important. If you don't have a strong personal network, make a point of finding a co-founder or early advisor/investor who does.
