Got accepted to pitch my startup at an event in Europe. Its a half a grand to pitch to biz angels and its a big event, runs every year and this year is virtual. Not really sure whether I should pay them to pitch, seems kinda weird, what do you think? Maybe its a European thing?
Speaking only for myself, there is no way in fuck I'd ever do a "pay to pitch" event. Startups are already hard-up enough for cash, and then you get some so-called "angel investor" who wants to make a profit off of simply allowing the unwashed mashes a few meager scraps of their attention?<p>Yeah "fuck you" to that Mr. Bigshot Angel Investor.<p>You should be grateful any entrepreneur is even allowing you the chance to enhance your deal flow and get in on their deal in the first place.
