Remote Demo Day - Pitch 4,000 investors remotely

@awt I think $250k to $3m is the sweet spot. We are going to promote the heck of the seven startups and try and get them 100+ meetings each.

@jason thanks...sounds good!

@jason it would be amazing if our nonprofit Six Beats Of Separation® would be considered to be passed around in similar fashion. We are the ONLY nonprofit in history that can amplify every donated dollar for generations to come, and do so while making it possible for the general public to be charitable without even opening their wallets. ALl they have to do is show up to see what we share (Celebrities share their favorite songs to benefit their favorite charities via photos and long form video interviews.) www.SixBeatsOfSeparation.com

@pedro_goes cool product / kind of odd to spam a thread with no context

@jason Thanks Jason. I think it would be a great fit for the 1-1 meetings during the conference. You planned on using Zoom?

@ilya_breyman1 current plan is to share the deal flow with the world --- not keep it for ourselves, so depending on on how many people come we will let them ask questions OR let them setup follow up meetings, What do you think is better: 7 companies doing 3 minutes each and let the investors be done in 30 minutes OR have 5 minutes of Q&A and having it last 75 minutes?

@ilya_breyman1 @jason like the 4:4 pitch:q&a format with a couple transitions/intros you land it in an hour. Could breath a little and have transition time, allowance for tech glitches, etc if you make it 6-pitches.

@jason better keep it shorter of course. Maybe under 45 minutes and allow 1-2 follow-up questions (pre-moderated?)?

@ilya_breyman1 @jason Don't do Q&A. If you do, you risk people getting hammered by group think. I've heard many a horror story from people pitching Angel Groups where one skeptic is like a turd dropped in the punch bowl. If people have questions, either A) they're interested and it generates a meeting where you can dive in properly to it, or B) it doesn't matter because they're not interested in investing anyways

@craigzingerline something in the $5k to $100k a month in revenue is the sweet spot for seed rounds today--but we would turn away someone with more.

@robert_haydock 3 minute pitches with follow up longer form meetings is what we are thinking right now.

@robert_haydock @jason I think one question from you Jason would be good. You will know the most obvious/important question that could shed a lot of light on the company.

@adrian_carolli thanks pal

@mattcrail sure, if it works

@jason so excited.. went from Slack to here, never read the front page. We will fill-out the application and go from there - thanks so much and have a great weekend!

@adevlinirl go for it!

@georg_berger attention span of an investor is same as short term memory (which is 7 +/-2 in most folks)

@jason and I just saw that there will be several sessions! This is cool. I co-founded an online academy similar to Lambda School targeting the LatAm market. Our MRR is still a bit low, but will apply anyways. Thanks for organizing this Jason!

@liron_shapira not competitive with YC... complimentary, hope to have many YC startups in fact

@jason Complimentary to the founders who have already joined YC, and helps boost the value of YC's current/past investments. But as to YC's future strategic advantage... this could substitute for a very significant chunk of YC's value add, thereby lowering YC's differentiation and ROI. Well played

@michaelhoffman yeah, we will do a survey i'm sure
