Can somebody summarize what he "lets it all loose" about? I am too lazy to invest the time in watching a video unless I have a vague sketch that it will actually be something I'm interested in.
I watched the first 10 minutes of Jason's speech and he talks about how broken the VC system was with the "pay to pitch" schemes and how he publicly increased pressure on those events until he finally started his open angel forum as an alternative.
Jason proceeds to give advice on how to get visibility with VCs, having an active and consistent twitter, blog etc presence. He then used a term I had never heard before, "FOFing" for "friend of a friend"ing as a tactic to gain access to VCs.
Then I remembered I hate sycophants and stopped watching.
Talks about a VC who wasn't comfortable with his valuation so he cancelled while he was on the way. He went to their office anyways.
He curses a lot while he tells this. Says he will tell everyone never to do business with you. Says you have to have a gangster attitude to deal with them.
Go with Angels, they want to win. A few VCs are assholes and want to win, that's who you want.
Be firm, honest and lie (when trying to get someone to say yes/no to investing)
Makes me wonder if a good video transcription / summarization service would be something people like you'd pay for. Something like squeezedbooks for movies.
