| 1640326347125030912 | @davidu @EWRairport @united Bloat schedules - always arrive early. A startup lesson for all. | 0 |
| 1640383387134484480 | @davidu @EWRairport @united The obvious answer is airlines schedule less flights and have more flexibility in their systems. This would result in less choices and higher fares, but when you are 45 minutes early you’d go right into a gate and then wait 6 hours for your connecting flight because there are… https://t.co/cAP4OhF05i | 0 |

| 1640404001782120449 | @davidu When you are creating a new category that requires evangelism, the events help. Ppl just need to hear it so many times to get comfortable with it | 0 |
| 1640404757067202560 | @davidu same for VCs? | 0 |
| 1640404922071154688 | @davidu I think heavily dependent on how well targeted the events are Too many founders spend time at overly VC/scene events which bring very little to them But if you know your ICP well and can find good heavily verticalized events, they can drive huge business | 0 |

| 1640404975619567616 | @davidu Probably regardless of sector. I think @founderspodcast mentioned that both Jobs and Bezos eschewed most conferences + ignored outside world. Focused on building business and valued being at home. | 12 |

| 1640407790249205760 | @davidu Yeah. I'm still a solo founder and the three or so events I've attended the last couple of years haven't moved the needle one little bit. What does is keeping the plates spinning: building, selling, trouble shooting, client relationship maintenance, repeat. | 8 |
