I&#x27;m going to start off by saying that I&#x27;m only 16 so in no world am I an expert on what I&#x27;m saying... I feel that what Justin is doing is a brilliant way to make receiving funding more approachable to small startups without them having to get up on stage in front of a couple hundred people or sit in a dull boardroom. If you think about it, putting someone on a stage at tech crunch disrupt isn&#x27;t too different from what Justin is doing. TCD is just more nerve-racking. Does everyone suddenly hate that now?  Speaking from first hand account, being a small start-up with a super young person in charge (I refer you to where I mentioned where I&#x27;m 16) it&#x27;s pretty hard to be taken seriously and approach VCs. This makes the process a little more relaxed an a little less stressful for people like me. Also who&#x27;s to say you can&#x27;t have fun in some parts of your job? Tech is already total lala land anyway... What other industry has ping pong meetings and free Starbucks all the time?  I really see no downside to this venture except for it being &quot;unconventional&quot; which we in the startup world all know to be pre-greatness. (I kinda loosely stole that pre-greatness part from silicon valley). Thanks for hearing me out. -harry
