However, I also put my email address in the AngelList part, figuring, how bad could it be? ... pretty bad. I am now thinking of making a "how to pitch me via email" post.
I've been surveying people on AngelList to see if they want to remove their e-mail address. So far, about 5 people have said "keep it" and 1 asked me to take it off.
I guess I want to see screenshots and actually get a hint of what they're doing and why it's interesting.
I get:
- request to come meet so they can tell me the Big Secret (can you just tell me so I can figure out if it's interesting?)
- no screenshots or link to prototype
- an understanding of what angels do (stop asking for a million dollars)
- pitching ideas very far away from what I invest in (multiple pet product pitches already)
Thomas's "catch me in person" via 4sq etc scares me. I even find referencing a joke I made on twitter somewhat creepy (it smashes the register frame.)
In the second sentence ("pretty bad"), Josh is talking about AngelList where anyone can contact him directly.
