Sam Hogan reports that his tweet generated roughly a dozen VC DMs offering portco intros. He’s instituted a policy requiring two portfolio-company introductions before meeting VCs and notes—calling it “pretty sad”—that only a small fraction of VCs follow through, even though providing intros should take at most five minutes.
Sam Hogan received direct messages from about a dozen VCs after the tweet offering to introduce their portfolio companies (portcos).
This tweet worked exactly as intended.
I now have DMs from about a dozen VCs offering to make intros to their portcos who they think we could help.

I get a lot of VC inbound so I've started requiring 2 portco intros before I'll meet with them, and I have to say it's pretty sad how few actually follow through loll like this should be no brainer and take max 5 minutes
