I wonder if they're like vaguely aware that most people would need a year of relentless networking and work to even get 1/3 of the meetings they seem to have gotten in a matter of days.
I mean they raised an average of over $200k a week. Maybe they could have written something with a headline more like "Here's how to get yourself into this privileged class of people who VC's will meet with and fund".
That's not snark, an article like that could lend some genuine insight to this topic.

Not to mention become paper millionaires because some VC think you have a 1% chance of being the next Instagram. I mean, that $1.7 million is more than I expect to bring home after tax for the next 10 years. And my income is probably top 95-99% for the area I live in so it's not like I have a hard life. I can't imagine what someone who is actually struggling thinks of their "terrible experience"
