This is a short transcript excerpt from a Lori Harder YouTube video advocating that founders—especially those selling their companies—should prioritize and explicitly showcase their professional networks. Harder reports interviews with women founders who credit network introductions, recommendations, and access as decisive to successful exits and advises founders to highlight key relationships in pitch materials.

All the women that we've spoken to that are in the process of selling their companies especially, they're like, the most important thing I had was my network every time. And everyone I interview, it's like, when I dig in, they're like, oh, I could have never done it without this person or this intro or this thing or this letter of recommendation from this person. It's like, all network. And that's how founders should be looking at it. Like, literally put that in your deck, like, actually utilizing it and saying, hey, I'm a part of this. These are the people in it. This is who I have access to.
