6. Name: Ronny Conway

Who he knows: Well; he’s Silicon Valley royalty being Ron Conway’s son and all—he’s “in the middle of everything” and yet keeps a very low profile, according to another person on this list. An ex-Googler, he now works at Andreessen Horowitz, the Valley’s premier VC firm.

How he can help: If you’re good enough, you could get a good deal from one of the most powerful investing firms in the Valley, and that’s bound to look good on your record, don’t you think?
