How to build a networking flywheel (Tips for introverts & newbies) ft. Ha Nguyen, Product Lead

In the fast-paced world of tech and products, finding joy and building meaningful connections can be as crucial as coding the next big feature. Whether you’re a first-time founder, an avid creator, or an indiehacker, knowing what excites you about building products, learning from doing, and discovering how to navigate the right networks are key.

Ha Nguyen, product lead, venture capitalist, one of the co-founders of Women in Product community, embraces fractional work and growing possibilities for the last two decades in tech. She’s currently the founder & Managing Partner of NextStep, supporting early stage founders on their journey to become master operators, company builders, and people leaders. She’s a tournament poker player who made the final table of a World Poker Tour (WPT) tournament.

In this video, Ha talks about her journey of building authentic connections and building out her network by putting herself and her thoughts in public. From being an introverted immigrant to eventually speaking aloud and thriving in growing communities, Ha's experiences show how one can thoughtfully curate the set of people around us and set the right opportunities too.
