If Paddy wants to do this right he should just be up front: $1,000 a table is not outrageous in my mind. If you get rid of this "apply to present" then surprise people with a bill, you would not have this bad will from so many founders. Note: I didn't actually bring all this up, I was just responding to all the folks writing about Keiretsu forum and Collision. While I do have a conference, it doesn't compete with any of these other events -- because winning for me is just giving back as much as I can (and taking NOTHING). I do these events for my own intellectual curiosity, to help my founders get exposure and to find new founders to invest in. I wish Paddy the best with his events and I hope the Keiretsu forum folds.
