Great event! kudos to the VC’s

This is people investing in ventures for a chance that it MAY return profit

How about some of these VC’s investing in PEOPLE?

There are many qualified frum people that need work and if given the chance and training
would give a substantial Return on Investment.

This actually would combine tzedaka (the highest form) AND business

The last contestant di not get a deal however made a deal with the sharks – everyone wanted to try out the services of SupplyMart first before investing. The only entrepreneur to get the Sharks as customers.

This conference was an amazing idea and obviously was a sell out. Hopefully next year they will figure out how to charge a bit less money + not make it on Gimmel Tammuz.

Analysis

Yoel Schwartz of parlor.fm should have taken the 250k in a heartbeat. Frankly, both he and the investors don’t understand the world of social media. I personally think parlor.fm is dead in the water, here is why: 1) people have no interest conversing (over the phone nontheless!) with strangers. Do a survey and you will see. Do you really think a sports fan is interested in talking scores over the phone with a random person? It’s nonsense.
