Went to a talk by a VC who is very active in my area. Didn't get a chance to introduce myself after the talk (there were < 25 ppl at the talk but the VC had to run). A few hours later, was out for drinks with a friend and saw he was at the same bar but talking with someone else.<p>Discussion ensued with my buddies around whether or not I should intro myself considering I didn't have a chance earlier in the day, but I ultimately decided against it. What say you: Should I have? I ask for the next time I'm in this situation.
this was a really good question @wimpy<p>i turned my answer into a blog post<p><a href="http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/12/should-you-introduce-yourself-to-me-at-a-bar.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/12/should-you-introduce-yoursel...</a>
Curious tangent:<p>What's better, to introduce yourself to a VC or to be introduced to a VC by a gushing shared acquaintance?<p>(If being introduced, then this leads to the strategy of introducing yourself to those who mingle with the VCs, rather than directly to the VCs themselves...)
