Step 1.2: Alumni

Another 10 minutes and I had 17 additional firms with alumni connections:

Key Insights: Wow! Who knew Michigan and Swarthmore sent alums to so many cool companies. Well, Michigan has the solar system's only alumni chapter on the moon (as far as we know), so I guess that makes sense. But who knew LinkedIn was so powerful - take that moon, what with your weak gravitational pull.

Time Savings: Pulling this list together through networking and schmoozing would easily have taken 50 hours.

Stress Reduction: As much as I love caffeine, if I have to have coffee with another alum just to find out that they work for a lame company, I'm going to pull my hair out. 2 mm Hg saved - and countless follicles!
