Networking is Not Easy!

Networking is not easy...actually sometimes it's just downright difficult. 

We've all been to the event where you wander aimlessly through expo hall booths, exchange business cards with people you know you'll never follow-up with, and sit through hours of content lacking in any new ideas. 

Over the past two months, full of hours upon hours of research and dozens of conversations with potential customers, it's been made clear that everybody wants to network. As much as everybody talks about wanting to grow their network, what they really want is to grow their network with peers and colleagues who can make a meaningful contribution to their success. 

At Carpathia, we get it. We are here to revolutionize networking.

In speaking with a colleague last week who is leading a VC backed Series A Startup, he said the biggest thing missing from the events he attends are opportunities to actually foster relationships. We talked a lot about events being the starting point of a relationship rather than an end all, be all. For him, it’s not about the initial meetings, it’s about what comes next. This means being in an environment that facilitates those genuine connections is critical to effective networking.

We completely agree. Here are three keys way that Carpathia is better:

1. Instead of back-to-back presentations from anybody who will take the podium, we offer you limited content with a handful of presentations from thought leaders alongside moderated round table discussions so that you can craft your own dialogue. 

2. No more awkward networking events like assigned seating at lunches while a vendor pitches you in the background. We are taking you off-site for bucket-list networking in the form an excursion. If you think building relationships through an afternoon of sailing or golfing sounds like it's more likely to create bonds than a forced luncheon, we agree. 

3. Quality over quantity. Simple as that. We are curating an intimate audience of high-quality participants. Instead of weeding your way through a thousand people to find the handful that you are excited to connect with, we are cutting out the noise and delivering your ideal audience. 

If all (or any) of this sounds exciting to you, please reach out to us!
