reliant /re·li·ant/ noun.
1. a British car manufacturer.
2. a person on which someone depends.
A reliant is an old British car from 1930s, but it’s also my word for a person that someone depends on, which is an essential component of our social networks. Each newsletter, I’ll offer you curated content about how networks shape your wellbeing, relationships and community. Whether you want to make better introductions, nurture relationships, or impact your community, I'll show you how networks show up in daily life and what habits can help cultivate yours.

Hi! I’m Erica, and I’m thrilled to be your guide on this journey together. I have been actively studying networks and their impact on us for 5 years. First, as a student of life, tracking and reflecting on my own experience. More recently, as part of my role at Anthemis, applying what we know about networks to support the growth of our portfolio companies.
