We discuss how your next opportunity will likely come from a person, a warm introduction, or a meaningful conversation rather than a viral post. We explore the concept of network effect in tech and explain how strong networks amplify reach, reduce friction, shorten time to opportunity, and increase trust velocity. We emphasize that the strongest creators build dense graphs of meaningful connections by investing attention rather than collecting followers, and we highlight why ecosystems outperform algorithms. #NetworkEffect #Networking #Connections #Opportunity #TrustVelocity
