Hey NY_Entrepreneur -- Steve Schlafman here from Lerer Ventures.<p>First and foremost, we appreciate your thoughts and I'm sorry that you had a hard time getting in touch with us. We receive dozens of business plans each week though our website and I personally review each one so I apologize if you've experienced issues. I can assure you this is the first time we've received this feedback so we'll have to work hard to ensure another entrepreneur doesn't experience the same pain point.<p>As for getting in touch with Lerer Ventures in the future, our website is certainly an option as is our twitter account. Additionally, we're all active on the social net, some of us have blogs and I have an about.me page which people use to contact me / us all the time. I'm also contacted by entrepreneurs via Facebook and LinkedIn daily so those are also channels I check regularly.<p>That said, good luck in your future endeavors and hope you're successful.<p>-Steve

I was so comfortable and felt connected with both of them and their suggestions were very very useful.
What a great effort from betabeat to support NYC startups.
It was an awesome experience. They were cool and made us feel very comfortable. Thanks betabeat and LV. Our confidence has taken a boost...It is very inspiring to see all the other pitches. I hope this is just the start!!
Their Web site has no e-mail address for contacting them.<p>The e-mail address they used to publicize died.<p>When calling for an e-mail address, their phone recorder is full of static.<p>If leave a message asking for an e-mail address, they don't respond.<p>Their backgrounds are not very technical.<p>They seem to believe that they can make good money with 'spray and pray' with simple projects with routine software for simple purposes for Web sites close to old media. Maybe.
