Problems by category: Networking

Attendees collect cards and LinkedIn connections but rarely find the buyer, mentor, hire, investor, or collaborator they needed.

People want useful introductions, but phone numbers, email, social handles, and personal context should appear only when both sides agree.

Mentorship, conference chats, founder intros, alumni help, and weak ties need context, next steps, and respectful follow-up timing.

Students, founders, and job seekers ask for help, but alumni need clearer context, credibility, and fit before making introductions.
