I don't have a ton of love for LinkedIn, but this is a problem they've taken on and solved to some degree. If I have a second-degree LinkedIn connection, I can request an intro through an intermediary, who has the chance to reject it, pass it along, and so on.

I'm not sure how much the investment community uses LinkedIn, but it seems like the closest thing to a solution right now.

I'm reluctant to use LinkedIn for two reasons.

1) Comes across as impersonal to the person I'm contacting. 2) LinkedIn is often checked infrequently at best.

I'm sure any solution would have same obstacles to overcome, but this is why I don't use it.
