As a New Yorker, I can honestly say I don't think I have ever heard anyone actually pitch NYA. David Rose frequently gives how to get funding talks, and they all sound the same.

NYA's portfolio of companies is simply un-compelling: http://newyorkangels.com/portfolio/default.html

How can an organization like this compete against innovative forms of funding like Betaworks and Founder's Collective?
