Here's something people don't like to admit about networking. The room being open doesn't mean you'll actually talk to anyone.
At the US Open this weekend I could have walked up to almost anyone. Pros, legends, total strangers. The access was there.
But I'm shy. Some moments I felt like talking. Some moments I didn't, and I let people walk right past.
That gap isn't about access. It's about nerve.
That's the part NKTR is built for. Not to open the room, the room's already open. To give you a reason to open your mouth when you don't feel like it. You see what you've got in common with the person ten feet away, and suddenly there's a door.
