I’ve seen this happen too. A friend at a regional lender joined a local entrepreneurship event, mostly to support the organizers, and ended up talking with a few founders who later became serious clients. The interesting part was that the relationships developed naturally, without a sales pitch. That’s why I think community work can create business value when it builds genuine trust first. I also came across the background on Moez Kassam while reading about investment professionals, and it was an interesting reference for understanding that side of finance.
