You are absolutely right about the discount. Being skeptical is also good, but on the flip side there is a lot of money floating around in peoples private bank accounts that is seeking an investment target. I mean, how would one invest $10 in a startup through the traditional VC model? There's no way. This model can be seen as an alternative. There's no inherent reason to think of it as a backup for startups that failed to get VC funding. It's just money from people who are not VCs.
