Authors of a recent Harvard Business Review article surveyed more than 900 VC
respondents on a variety of topics, including deal flow. According to the
survey respondents, the best deals come from their network, which includes other investors, former colleagues, successful entrepreneurs,
and university professors.
If you are not connected to such a network, this post is for you.
No database will provide you with an instant network. Googling for such
databases will not help. HOWEVER, Googling CAN help you begin the arduous
process of building your venture capital network.
Some people are naturally gifted in building and maintaining networks. For
those of us who are network challenged, here are some tips to get you started …
TIP #1:
You may already have a network and you just don’t know it.
You have colleagues, past and present, who may not know you are interested in
entrepreneurship, whether you are an investor looking for good ideas, or someone
with a good idea looking for capital. LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com) can help you connect with
these people. Ask them for advice on who they might know who can help with
ideas and funding.
You might try a similar approach with college professors you may have studied
under, or alumni you have studied with.
Some will not respond, but you might be surprised at how many will offer
suggestions.
TIP #2:
When someone offers a suggestion, thank the source, then follow up … on every
suggestion. Do the work. It may take time, but eventually you will find the one
connection that makes it all worthwhile.
TIP #3:
Get more out of LinkedIn. Try these Google® search phrases …
Google®: linkedin
venture capital
Google®: linkedin deal flow

The Genius of Venture Capital (Part 3): Use LinkedIn to Build Your Network
Tuesday, December 25, 2018
Ten for 10 … The 10 most popular posts since the Desulf Blog began 10 years ago
Unbelievable … in March, 2019, the Desulfurization Blog will be 10 years old.
In celebration of that fact, here is a list of the top 10 posts since March,
2009.
Caveat … the Web is an ever changing organism. While I have done my best to review the links in the following posts, some of them may be obsolete.

you’re interested in recent published results of Saudi Aramco’s
desulfurization activities. But you’re interested in substance, not news.

Not
all LinkedIn groups are created equal. Some are little more than
infomercials. Others are a mix. The Oil Refining Global Technology Forum is a
mix.

A
few posts ago I highlighted Sulphco’s efforts to commercialize its
Sonocracking™ desulfurization technology. As noted in the Wikinvest article
on Sulphco, “Major companies like Merichem, ChevronTexaco (CVX) ,
CONOCOPHILLIPS (COP) and other large oil producers have been actively
pursuing their own versions of sonocracking.” However, even companies with
such vast resources at their disposal can have setbacks.
TIP: For current information on similar processes, Google® the phrase vacuum residue slurry hydrocracking |

Consider
showing your expertise by following and participating in a LinkedIn® group. I
do. I am not an expert in the technologies used in refining heavy oil. But I
am an expert in searching for information on these technologies. So when I
found the following post to the Heavy Oil group, I responded with a helpful
comment

Online
database vendors like EbscoHost, LexisNexis, and ScienceDirect work hard to
make it easy for you to access their data.
Librarians and other information professionals work hard to make your
people aware of the resources and how to use them.

Foreign
languages have fascinated me since I was a kid. So every once in a while, I
use the Arabic Keyboard, an iGoogle tool, to type in words I have found as I
search the Internet for useful desulfurization items. Of course, I can’t read
the resulting pages, and the Google® translation is sometimes bizarre. But if
you are fluent in the language, you might try it out.
UPDATE: iGoogle was discontinued November 2013. TIP: To find an Arabic keyboard, visit: http://www.arabic-keyboard.org/ |

In Search of Expertise (Part 9): LinkedIn Advanced Search Statements
LinkedIn is such a rich source of information on experts that it makes sense to repeat myself … master Boolean logic and use it in LinkedIn’s Advanced search form.
For example, to find people with expertise in catalysis, you might use the following search string …
catalyst (scientist OR researcher) (sulfur OR desulfurization)
You could type the search string directly into the Keyword search box. But I find it more convenient to compose the search string in word or notepad, and then copy and paste the result into the LinkedIn search box. This makes it easier for me to spot typos and other mistakes.
Here is a screenshot showing a couple of the results of the above search …
And here is a screenshot of me inviting you to join my LinkedIn network (http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeansteinhardtresearch)
Thursday, May 9, 2013
In Search of Expertise (Part 2): Do You Speak Boolean?
“Sometimes when
I'm talking, my words can't keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we think
faster than we speak. Probably so we
can think twice.” -- Bill Watterson (American Author of the comic strip Calvin
& Hobbes, b.1958)
LinkedIn’s advanced search form is very good. You can make it work even better by using Boolean search strings. Shown below are the number of hits returned from six search strings that were entered into the Keyword box.
LinkedIn Advanced Key Word Search
See what power lies in the use of parentheses and OR.
If your first search yields too few hits, throw a wider net with more key words, connected by OR and nested between parentheses.
Conversely, if you net too many results, remove some key words from the search string.
TIP #1: I find it easier to compose complex search strings in Word or Notepad, and then copy and paste into the LinkedIn Keyword search box.
TIP #2: Save the search strings for future use. It will save some typing.
TIP #3: Invite me to join your LinkedIn network. You can find me at: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeansteinhardtresearch

Rating LinkedIn Technical Groups
“You live and
learn. At any rate, you live.”
-- Douglas Adams (British comic Writer, 1952-2001)
As a member of LinkedIn, I have joined a number of groups, some of which are quite useful. Other groups, not so much. I have decided to unjoin the groups that I do not find valuable.
The thing I most look for in technical groups is technical discussions. So I devised a simple personal rating system …from 1 (the highest rating for my purposes) to 5 (the lowest rating for my purposes) …
1 = a significant number of technical discussions
5 = no technical discussions found
These are my personal ratings … I don’t mean them to be a rating of the quality of the groups for other people, who may value other types of content … I am interested only in the technical discussions, and rate the groups according to what I am looking for.
So here, for what it’s worth, is how I rate the LinkedIn Groups to which I belong …

Heavy oil C3 coking in tubular steam heater.
Heavy oil C3 1,0, low sulfur content, is burnt in a boiler and is to be heated from 30C to 135C before burning. A shell tube heater is used.
After some 3 month the heater has to be cleaned due to coking on the oil side/shell. The coking is caused by asphaltenes.
They cut of the heater and evacuate the oil. Then fill it with acids, do hydromechanical washing etc. It is time consuming, waste producing procedure.
What they could do with this problem?
Any additive preventing coking but not afecting burning process?
