Well, the post pointed the obvious, which is not an easy thing to do. Networking meetings are actually a good place to know investors more than other entrepreneurs. I have been to some of them and I honestly can't remember more than 5 names that interested me. On the other hand, talking to the people who was there to put their money on random projects is a much more meaningful chat. Personally, whenever someone asks me recommendations to fill a vacant position on a company I don't bet on 99% of the people I know. The other 1%, those who I know are genuinely good, I tend to keep in contact, even if its to drink a beer after work, just to know what's up with them and what's on their minds lately. That's called making friends.
