Another thing I do… is call references and then ask the references, “Who else should I talk to?” Often the reference has been set up in advance and is a good friend of the entrepreneur. And sometimes he will know something negative about the entrepreneur that he doesn’t want to personally disclose. So when I ask that reference for another reference, he can steer me to someone who will tell me what he thinks I ought to know, without worrying that he has betrayed the entrepreneur. It’s a good strategy for hiring situations as well.
