Haters will hate, but they're doing it and there's nothing stopping them.

Gapjumpers, Stripe-o-Auth, and analytics viewing requests should be the defacto standard for quick due diligence in the early stages.

Hell, give email access to the investors if it's not delicate info. "o-auth"-ing in to see metrics etc,,, I think that will be the future of VC investing. Also, more of the 1-10 founding team will have much more equity.

I dunno. All we are talking about here is 10 videos and 5k spent over 3 months. I can't see how this is much more than a marketing gimmick to help their name stand out from the pack.

I'm sure if something legit started brewing they would shut off the camera and head to the fine dining spot.

Though maybe what you are saying is that the VC who wins is the one who invests in a product that makes being a VC obsolete?

I don't how GapJumpers fits into what you're saying. I'm not saying it isn't important, I just don't see why an investor would care.

Otherwise, I completely agree.
