So much free market hoopla – then this article comes along. Putting a price on presentations, usually results in filtering the crappy business plans from trying random pitches.

Gents, come on. Just 'cos you dont do something, does not mean it is very bad.

I agree with you on this and quite a few other issues Brad — we obviously have far too many fools and far too few entrepreneurs investing — particularly of the type that have built sustainable businesses. When we were operating our fund I received invitations constantly from those who charge fees– often substantial.

Add it to the long list of self-defeating practices out there today– and we wonder why so few jobs are being created?
