Do your any of your previous companies have official OR useful alumni networks? 

E.g. slack, fb, listserv, etc

No. The alpha will always be in the group chats.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

what illuminati level must i achieve before being invited to the illuminati group chats?

not begging for an invite, but also not currently a part of any high signal group chats besides Grughub maybe but that doesn’t rly count imo

It’s about knowing the person running the group chat. There are a handful of people who run several dozen and then a long tail of one off.

When I was off from Coinbase I was running a few. Shut all of them down except a long running TG one and then I accidentally kicked myself out.

Down to 3-4 personally.

They can suck up a crazy amount of time and most are dumb because people are still guarded.

One way to start them is think of 10 high-trust people in your network that you vouch won’t go crazy, leak the messages, etc. 

They break around 20-30 people usually. Trust level too low.

10-15 optimal for chatter

Handful of people = very connected SV people, hypernetworkers in a non-fake way

3-4 personally = the ones I haven’t quit and have 10+ people with dozens of messages a day min (like a dinner party)
