Vulture Capitalis...This is an interesting concept. Vulture Capitalists have it hard. It is a tough life to listen to interesting proposals all day and occasionally have to write a check off of other people's money. I can see how they would want to charge for such a miserable experience. Most entrepreneurs have tapped all available resources just to get to the stage where the idea is "pitchable". If I were an investor, I would choose those entrepreneurs who were wise enough NOT to choose to pay-to-pitch. That would signal to me that the management knows where to properly allocate capital. Those who have great business ideas typically do not have a large pocket book. I do not see a correlation between winning ideas and the ability to pay-to-pitch. In fact I would suspect that the two are negatively correlated.Matthew Bagleyhttp://www.bagleyconsultingllc.comnoreply@blogger.com
