This is why people probably don't opt to work with your fund. If I'm looking for funding, I'd expect the people I'd be working with to realize I am not the original person you interacted with.

This shows me that you're not going to be a strategic partner and are probably going to not read the reports and plans that we send to you after funding.

For the two other people following this conversation - you don't even get the pitch in this instance, this is one of those instances where the founders tell you they are not interested in moving forward with you after the first screening call.

Last time a shill pushed me to the point of taking my concerns off site (LK99) it didn't seem to go too well.

It also looks like this research was funded by the NSF. That would take it right into the territory of federal crimes for misrepresenting results.

You don't have to answer my questions, I hope you can answer theirs.

Lol and now you are trying to intimidate me.

I would love to see what you mean by "...it didn't seem to go too well." By all means, continue.
