If you feel that it's worth the chance to pitch for the amount they charge, take it. If not, don't. I think it's a bit opportunistic - there's very little value add for the entrepreneur's point of view. But they've made a value-prop, good or bad. That said, a small percentage on overall funding might not be a bad idea from a feel-good stance. I wonder if it would be enough to compensate for revenue lost from its current model, and how they would deal with people going outside of the system to close deals.
