Classic scam, seen it before in charging starving musicians $150 a piece for "auditions" with so-called A & R's associated with record labels. One of the lowest forms of bloodsucking on the planet.
- starkfist 17y agoThis truly is a classic scam. Same thing happens in modeling, acting, even "boiler room" type trading outfits. The big win for this "angel" group is that they got anyone, including other VCs to talk about them as though they were legitimate...
- gyardley 17y agoThe membership of the New York Angels includes a handful of VCs, along with a lot of entrepreneurs. While the fee's distasteful, David and his angel group are legit.
- aswanson 17y agoCmon man you got college students living off ramen and meal cards trying to get something started out here. The last thing they need coming after their few coins is this scam shit. Call a leech a leech.
- MediaSquirrel 17y agoRemember, this is $150 doesn't actually give you the chance to pitch. No you pay $150 for the CHANCE to pitch.
- bravura 17y agoI think you meant to say: Remember, this is $150 doesn't actually give you the chance to pitch. No you pay $150 for the CHANCE to have the chance to pitch.
