Why Ron is Unique
\nNow that we understand Ron\u2019s value, a good question is why don\u2019t more people run a network like Ron? Why is Ron unique? In my view there are four key ingredients to Ron\u2019s business:
\n1. A ridonkulous work ethic\u2014If Ron\u2019s awake, he\u2019s working. He can be at a party, in his pajamas, or at the Super Bowl. Ron is always on the job and the network is always on.
\n2. Pure motives\u2014Ron does what he does, because he likes helping people succeed in business. He gives most of the money that he earns away to charity, so greed never clouds his vision or his mission. In fact, the investment component is almost an aside to his primary purpose.
\n3. Super human courage\u2014Ron fears no man and he definitely fears no phone call. When you ask Ron for help, you don\u2019t have to wait a week while he warms up a connection. Ron\u2019s network is always on.
\n4. A way of doing business\u2014This is the unspoken key to Ron\u2019s success. He\u2019s not judgmental in the conventional sense, but he acts with extreme prejudice when it comes to the proper way to conduct oneself in a relationship. If you behave below Ron\u2019s standards in this respect, you will not be allowed to participate. As a result, Ron\u2019s social network is a fantastic place to conduct business. Everyone is courteous, timely, and straightforward. Ron gets rid of the friction and enables his business partners to focus on what\u2019s important.
\nSo, the next time somebody asks you: \u201cwhy should I try to get an investment from Ron Conway?\u201d, let them know that (as The Game would put it) \u201cif they are slipping in Silicon Valley and they get their deal snatched\u2026\u201d
