I offer to meet random people for coffee several times a week, sometimes it turns out to e networking, sometimes it turns out to be ad-hoc advice/mentoring, I just try to put myself out there for people to use as they'd like and see what happens.



Just curious, how do you find random people to meet for coffee? From online communities like HN?


I created some specific 'coffee' time slots in my calender and use https://calendly.com/ to organise the time slots (and put location details etc in as well) and then I just occasionally post to LinkedIn with the link saying I'm open to chats. I tend to get 1 or 2 every time I post.

It's definitely not 100% effective but works for what I want at the moment.
