If someone's been in the industry for a decade (and wants to be an entrepreneur), or went to school less than 10 years ago, I'd be hard pressed to believe there's less than 100 people they know and remember who would want to connect via LinkedIn, etc. I'm a pretty crappy networker and I don't add connections on FB or LI to people I don't know, and I've still got over 1,000.... I don't think 100 is much to ask. And I'm not saying it's a dealbreaker, just something that might mean you should investigate further.
(To give a more concrete example, I once realized that someone claimed to have gone to a particular college, but didn't have a single person on either FB or LinkedIn from that school in their friend lists. Doesn't that seem a bit fishy?)
