To: Jason CalacanisHey Jason
I have been following your stand against paid pitching to
VCs/angels/conferences. Venture Summit approached me a few days back
and they are charging $6-10k just to make a 6 min pitch and a few
minutes of Q/A from the audience. There is no panel. If you pay the
higher price you get a 40 minute demo table after the pitch. I find
this rather absurd. So I thought I let you know. Apparently they run
more than 5 other of the same type of conferences around the country.
