In this episode of Your Startup Community, Chris Heivly reframes one of the most misunderstood ideas in entrepreneurship: networking.

It is not about events, business cards, or getting access to the right institutions. It is about building real relationships with real people.

Chris breaks down the common trap founders and community builders fall into, chasing logos instead of trust. He explains why meaningful networks are not built through affiliations, but through human connection, shared experiences, and showing up for others.

Because in the end, organizations do not build trust. People do.

And the strongest startup communities are not the most connected on paper. They are the ones where people actually know, trust, and help each other.
