A product executive colleague at Google once joked he was basically an email router; that most of the problems they solved were largely about sending or forwarding a message with a small amount of value added. Certainly my life as an investor has me doing a bunch of this as well. I’m actually quite particular about how, when, and why I’ll make (or decline) an introduction request (as the middle man) but that’s a separate post. Here I’m creating a URL I can send to people when they ask me for best way to make an introduction. Blog as archives!
