The PE club hosts a variety speakers, and afterwards many stick around for a drink or two. Knowing this person is bound to receive 20+ “follow-up emails” I often wonder how many actually get through. I’m guessing only a handful. Read Fred Wilson’s (a VC from NYC) take on how to at least improve your chances.

Nice one Andy, great link – thanks – will let you know my new hit-rate!
This is indeed a useful one. To add to it I suggest that you plan your strategy in advance. On the event when you meet the guy try to provide him with a distinctive detail that he will probably remember later on when you email that guy. Spilling a glass of wine one the guy is a good idea, don’t you think?
Ha! I’ll have to try the drink-spill next time.
