If youngstartup is so confident that they're adding value by bringing investors and entrepreneurs together in one place, why isn't the financial burden placed on the VCs who attend the conference? After all, they're getting to see all the hottest startups present in one event. Certainly $1500 wouldn't break a startup, but that burden would hurt a VC even less. I don't think events like these should be money-makers. I think participants should be charged up to the point that the cost of the venue is covered, but anything above this amount seems like it would be deadweight loss to most of the participants involved.
