    Jack, Whats the best way of going about raising investment by using LinkedIn? How did goshido do it?

    I am trying to get a start-up off the ground which specialises in quality & compliance solutions based on Microsoft Sharepoint.

    I had an initial meeting with Gerard O’Brien at EI but I think he thought that my business was too service based and also was not novel enough. Yes, although there are other solutions out there very few of them are based on Sharepoint which is Microsoft’s fastest growing product and key to their collaboration platform & strategy.

    I look forward to hearing back from you.

    Regards
