Assuming you don't live in any of the major US tech spots (SF/SV/NY/etc), and you don't have any existing "relationships" with VCs, advisors, mentors, or incubators, how do you get yourself and your product in front of the people who can help you go to the next level?<p>AngelList, Caplinked, and the rest all appear to require that you have an existing network in place to be remotely useful.
Build relationships. Wherever you are you can probably network yourself to a reasonable position.<p>If you gave some details about where you are and the nature of your startup, it might be easier to give practical advice.
Find some potential VCs. Research the hell outta them to find their interests and what makes them tick. Then, when the opportunity comes to provide them value, be proactive about it. Give it time to build relationship until you can meet in person and go from there.<p>Alternatively, you can fly out to different conferences in order to meet them in person to kickstart the relationship.
