While I agree that venture is still a very tight knit network, I disagree that you cannot penetrate the bubble. Easy feeders into the venture community include accelerators like YC/Techstars, relocating to a venture hotspot like SF/NYC, or finding traction and prominence on social platforms like HN/Twitter

"Easy feeders" = being the 2% that get accepted into YC, moving your life to another city or building a large social media presence...yes, easy.

And all of these need you to give 3 to 6 months of your life for free. That is nice and all, but i need to put food on the table.
