Barriers and Breakthroughs
- Capture interest fast — indicative tickets, and immediate deep-dive scheduling.
- Train lead angels — the bottleneck for many BANs.
- Activate diaspora nodes — they’re natural bridges for deal flow.
- Encourage founders to think global early — before legal and cultural barriers pile up.
