There is a bunch of free programs for startups too, global competitions that fly some startups to a nice destination to pitch. I get the feeling the main goal of these competitions is to hoover data on early stage companies and on-sell to VCs and others.

Interesting hypothesis, and quite possibly true. As long as they're not charging startups, actually giving exposure to the finalists, and not misrepresenting the program or odds of being selected, I don't really have a problem with it. Is there a conflict of interest or something else I'm missing?
