The title is a complete lie and has essentially nothing to do with the content of the article.

The app allows you to book appointments with specific people who claim significant expertise. The article does not suggest that VCs are asking founders for a fee to present their pitch.



I agree that the title is a bit clickbait-y, but HN doesn't let you editorialize titles when posting articles.

A more accurate title would have been "Some VCs..." though it has become standard practice in journalism to omit a leading "Some."

Maybe "App charges founders $2500 for VC meetings"?


I've changed the title since a lot of people think the article's own original title is "misleading or linkbait", as per the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
