I got two offers at startups as a finance undergrad still in college because I networked my ass off. I found some companies and founders I was interested in, reached out, continued to develop those relationships, and then came into offers from said startups.

If you're not someone's best friend, then become it.

So you’re inexperienced, non-technical, and you want to work for a startup 16 years ago

Killer post - I think this message really needs to reach the abundance of business students today. It's tough as nails to get something non-technical when you're fresh out of college and want to work in a startup. Everyone, often even the founder, is an engineer. You can teach an engineer business, but you can't teach a businessman engineering.
