Presumably the best thing to do is write a transparent attempt to drum up interest on FB and see if you can dig up interest in that way?

In reality, just ask the people you know. And if it’s good, ask them to tell the people they know.

Right. Assume you were friends with some of them; these are supposedly the smartest people you know, right? Tell them you want to know what they think of your product. Easy peas.

To add to partner 1, I have a sneaking suspicion this post is less about his MBB network he already has, and more about the world of non-MBB consultants who don't know him or his product but will be motivated to connect because he is former MBB...

DD1 that wasn’t the intention, but good point.

Why do people boost MBB so much? I feel like you can get interviews at most companies from T2 / Big 4 strategy and could be way more capable. There are lots of much more successful people from non-mbb too. Stop feeding into this narrative
