Everyone should breathe for a moment. According to the Angel Capital Association, 60% of their members charge ~$400 to pitch. Also, no one complains about the $18,000 for 3 minutes at Demo. That's a pretty hefty fee, but many get value out of that event. The entrepreneur HAS to be the one to make that value judgement for themselves. The MassChallenge team and others like them are providing a great service and it's up to the entrepreneur to figure out if their making the right decision, not some self appointed guru. I have a hard time understanding those self appointed guru's who claim to have the interest of the poor struggling entrepreneur at heart. Entrepreneur's are a pretty tough lot. If an entrepreneur can't make the right decision about who they should work with, they will likely fail anyway. After all, being a CEO is about making the right decisions. If you can't do that, it's better to find out early.
