This is a great question.

1. Acclimate: Walk around SF and Palo Alto. Get to know the streets, be able to talk like a local, and understand the flow of the city.

2. Attend events. I wrote a post on that here: https://clarity.fm/questions/4379/where-do-i-network-with-entrepreneurs-game-changers-and-investors-to-find-not

3. Be brave. This is a city that rewards fearlessness and strength. Move with confidence, have an open mind/heart, and go do what you're meant to do in this world.
