How exactly do you get into this network? Is his network closely connected to the PG/YC network?

Make something that is noticed. They will find you.

6+ years ago I went from knowing nobody in the valley to almost everybody within a few days. Just generate buzz and build a good product.

Silicon Valley is tiny. You are only an email and a single intro away from almost everybody.

Ron shows up to the YC demo days, but you can definitely meet Ron and other angels without YC (it has been happening for years, after all). He invests very early and tracks most of the tech blogs.

At what size for a consumer app do you start getting "noticed"?

I would very interested to hear what kind of product you made.

Is his network closely connected to the PG/YC network?

Yes, he's an investor in both YC funds and one of the most prolific investors in YC companies. He's also a regular speaker at the YC dinners each round.
