I'm an entrepreneur turned investor. Convince me in two sentences

Dance, Monkeys Dance! ... No thanks.<p>No legitimate investor would find this exercise to be worthwhile nor would any legitimate entrepreneur find this to be worthwhile.

I find this believable considering where claims to come from (first time investor?). I&#x27;d probably consider trying something similar, except I&#x27;d not be willing to wade through hundreds of poorly written, partly fake&#x2F;satirical pitches because I don&#x27;t believe in finding rare gems among them just because the barrier to entry is so low. More complicated and time-consuming processes like YC&#x27;s are not based on a whim and seem to work very well for a reason.

Assuming it&#x27;s legit, it seems more an opportunity for angel investing than VC. Any company ready for real VC money should have better connections and personal introductions, or the poster should know about them and be going to them.<p>I suppose it would work for angels, but I don&#x27;t see how this approach beats the rich systems that AngelList or Gust offer.

This sounds a bit fake. I don&#x27;t see what you have to gain by doing this anonymously. On the other hand, I don&#x27;t see why someone wast their time faking something like this but then again I never got why people troll everywhere. I thought hacker news was safe from the trolls. Anyways GL.

Yeah right. There&#x27;s no reference as to <i>where</i> to post the idea, so it&#x27;s clear that the OP `ziko` would have to be the investor. Yet `ziko` clearly knows how to submit &quot;Ask HN:&quot; type posts, so the pastebin.com is merely a lazy disassociation.

It&#x27;s like the Twitter version of Angellist. You can do text filtering on whatever keywords you are looking for. Unlike Angellist, you don&#x27;t have to wade through lots of links and documents.

Is this an effort to take the pg investing trends essay to an extreme? Or an effort to quickly fill the deal pipeline for a new VC?

Soon we&#x27;ll have micro funding. You submit a one word proposal to investors and they can commit to invest either $10 or $0.
