Your point about Zuckerberg's contacts jeopardizing the relationship is one we focus on every day. It is very delicate. Certainly Mark will be seeing this in his inbox as bemused contacts forward it to him - perhaps not using a bounty link. But receiving compensation for putting together a business deal is at the heart of the way business is done. We've just digitized it and saved the connector that awkward follow-up call about the finder's fee.
Thanks for the feedback!
- jamesmcn 14y agoBounties might reasonably be paid for help closing a deal, but only a fool pays for an introduction. Not that there is anything wrong with separating rich fools from their money.
- businessleads 14y agoHave you checked out the site? The "lead" is only submitted when the person has indicated that yes, they are interested, and answers whatever questions the bounty-poster wants answered to qualify them ahead of time. So it's not an introduction, but the person actually starting off the conversation with you, saying: "Yes, I'm interested", "Yes, your idea sounds interesting I'd like to have a discussion about possibly funding it" or whatever terms you define. That said, we do have a demand for deal bonuses, payable when a qualified lead results in a closed deal. That's coming down the line. Thanks for your feedback.
