I know that.<p>Edit: I guess this is speculation but I know many, many specific examples of companies who have had early exits in this range that have come about due to personal connections. It doesn&#x27;t take a rocket scientist to connect the dots here.<p>Does the average startup outside the bubble have the potential to make these connections and get similar deals? Maybe. It&#x27;s a very hard bubble to pierce. Try to email any &quot;insider&quot; with your early stage, low traction idea and I suspect you will see a similar result - <i>crickets</i>.
