How can I expand my network to the VC world? I know hanging around Silicon Valley is a great start but I’m trying to find a more direct approach, willing to travel. Any thoughts?

A great first step would be to identify VCs that you are interested in, and perhaps reach out to people at their portfolio companies for conversations. This will make it so whenever you speak to someone, at the VC you are interested in, you’ll have a lot of context to talk about and will make a great first impression. Cold emails always work when you have done your homework.
