What’s your go-to way to get warm introductions?

I usually try to reach out to the people in my network over text, who later make introductions.

Is there another way than that if you don’t run into them somewhere?

I do the same exact thing as you OP. I will just reach out to people in my network and often ask if they mind making an introduction. I have build really strong healthy relationships over the years so I find that people are more than willing to make intros for me.

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs.

They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?
