The fact that you are asking this means this post was a very good example of sponsored content. He makes a legitimate point, then spends the second half of the article advertising his own stuff. Classic negative review tactics - bash your competition and then pitch yourself.
As for these conferences in general, I don't understand why it is so hard for these organizers to get investors to come to their events. With the frothy market, investors aren't exactly hiding from opportunities to find new startups worth investing in. The organizers just aren't trying.
- jasonmcalacanis 12y agoWell, I don't actually have to bash the competition... as I'm not competing with anyone -- I lose money or breakeven and sell out every time! It's easy to sell out when you have 60,000 emails and you give every founder a free ticket. :-) Also, I didn't start this whole discussion, I was reacting to folks who were bashing these other events. Those founders felt duped, not me.
