Having to pay to pitch anyone is ridiculous. Why not VCs/angels have to pay to pitch us?
Bottom line is, if you pay to pitch an investor, you are are identifying yourself as a desperate, naive, uninformed person, and possibly greedy person (read on). You will be fleeced, some might say you deserve to be fleeced.
These "pay to pitch" scams work on the same kind of people as those Nigerian email scams (or other "get rich quick" scams). The reason both of them exist is because there are enough twits out there that click or pay or whatever. And, so, the rest have to hear about it and get spammed by it.
- swombat 17y agoGood parallel. After all, they are both "advance fee scams", i.e. "you give us some money and we'll give you more money later".
