Venture capitalist Hunter Walk is an introvert in an extroverted line of work. To get the most out of big events such as conferences and industry parties, he focuses less on broadening his connections, and more on deepening. He's learned to change his goal from "meet everyone at the conference" to "have five or ten meaningful conversations".
