My startups get 4 of these pitches a week. All performance based. All with amazing claims of close rates - for lines of business that are completely unrelated to mine.
The investor side of me thinks the founders should be doing early sales. I don't agree that capital is any harder to raise. IMHO market turmoil is good for angel/seed as those with means are looking for alternatives.
This exactly. People are already trying to do this and judging by the sales techniques they use to approach me (spam emails) I don't want anything to do with them!
