Actually, if you look at my first email I suggested that we would do an "open angel forum" if they didn't drop the fees.
So, I'm fairly down with the concept of creating something competitive! I mean, that's what I did when I got upset about the DEMO conference charing startups $20k for six minutes on stage!
- netsp 17y agoOut of curiosity, do you have a business model in mind for this? IE, if not for the Crusade (or Jihad), do you have a reason for running an alternative?
- jasonmcalacanis 17y agoVery simple: 1. do it in a free or cheap location 2. ask a law firm to buy breakfast 3. use open source software/posterous to host the website 4. don't be a greedy f@#$%k and take $6k from startups desperate to raise capital. best jcal :-p
- jacquesm 17y agoCreating something competitive would take a lot of the wind out of your current argument, these jerks could use that to show in court that your only reason to do what you did (namecalling etc) was to launch your venture over the back of theirs.
- chris123 17y agoBring it on, Jason. An open forum that brings together (A) people/companies in need of angel funding; and (B) angels. Oh, and so you can tell the "serious" angels from all the others, charge a fee to the ANGELS. I actually think this is what Seedcamp (London) does.
