How would this differ from spam? Would you be able to provide reliable metrics on responses?

I'm actually thinking about incentivizing the VC firm to respond as well! Maybe create a premium tier, 10 bucks to pitch and get a little feedback. I then give 5 bucks to the vc firm for 2 minutes of their analysts time. It has worked for music blogs and artists, with services like submithub! Of course, this is all assuming there is any value in this at all, LOL, which there may very much not be.

Spam is unsolicited bulk email. Seems like this meets the definition of spam. A textbook example, even.
