I’m very honored to be listed not just amongst the top ten people to know in Silicon Valley by The Huffington Post, but I top the list at number one! Described as a “serial entrepreneur,” my spot at number four on the Top 50 Online Influencers in the World via Entrepreneur Magazine certainly helped me claim the top spot in this recent article. I’m also excited to be listed as one of the most “successful advisors for startups” in the region.

Plus, I’m in great company! Other top people to know include Murray Newlands, my co-founder at Due.com and a close friend. Robert Scoble also tops the list, as does digital marketer Brian Solis. Venture Capitalist Ben Parr is featured along with Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal.

If you really want to rub elbows with VCers, entrepreneurs, and other top dogs in Silicon Valley, having a cheat sheet at the ready is a great help. You’ll know that Joe Lonsdale of Formation 8 Partners is a man you need to meet, and that Paul Doersch of Kespry should top your networking wish list.
