What is up PartnerUp!? 

Today we’re talking about the ground floor of growth - network effects. 

But not just with anyone, we’re talking with the king of NFX himself, James Currier, Managing Partner of the kingmaker VC firm, NFX.com.

Network effects are kind of like compound interest:

“All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.” - Naval Ravikant

But they’re also so much more. In fact, there are SIXTEEN types of network effects. And what holds the nodes together? Oh, James calls that “node bonding theory.”

Yeah, we’re going that deep. I mean, he did write the “Network Effects Bible,” and currently has an entire masterclass for FREE on network effects.

James is a legend and we were delighted to welcome him to the show. 

Oh, and James will be speaking at plxsummit.com on Day 1, November 7th, for Partner Led Startup Day. Register today at plxsummit.com.
