It seems as though the key to alot of startups succeeding and differentiating themselves from the competition gets glazed over in the retelling of their story's. SpaceX started after Elon organized a conference of top experts in the field. While Elon may have had 'influence' due to his previous exits, how would a person starting a company in a field reach out to people outside of his/her network? Example scenarios/ 'reach-out' emails would be greatly appreciated!
