Rank the people worth meeting at an upcoming event
A ranked shortlist of attendees with why they matter and an opener for each
I'm attending [event] — here is the attendee or speaker list: [link or paste list]. My goals: [e.g. meet design partners, hire a founding engineer, raise a seed round]. Research each person from public sources: current role and company, what they are working on, recent posts or talks, and anything we plausibly have in common. Then rank everyone by how much they could move my goals forward, in three tiers: must-meet, worth a conversation, and skip. For each must-meet, give me: why they matter to my goals specifically, one recent thing they did that I can reference, and a natural opener that doesn't sound canned. Keep it grounded — only claim things public sources support, link each profile, and if someone is hard to research, put them in an unknown-but-could-be-interesting bucket instead of guessing. Deliver it as a ranked brief I can review on my phone in ten minutes.
