"outsider" looking to make "wall st" contacts and network

hello all, new user here...I come from the alternative financing/non bank financing/ lending / funding / fintech / private credit/ mca whatever name they want to use nowadays,  think Ondeck, Funding Circle, Bluevine, Fundbox, Upstart, etc etc. etc. I've been in this space 10 years and looking to possibly start fund. Anyone who is in the private credit hedge fund or private credit world willing to hop on a call or perhaps a meet so I can pick your brain and perhaps get some advice/thoughts and get pointed in the right direction? I am in NYC, would be down to do Spaniard (i hear this is where ya'll hang? lol ) on me obviously, or open to coffee as well...ideally looking to meet some one in a senior level position  or 7+ years. Apologize in advance if this is unconventional . TY Mods feel free to move to the appropriate location .
