Let's do a scholarship program for Farcon to help some people get to NYC.

Year 2 of the Farcon Scholarship Program

DC me if interested.

1. $100.00 for pitchdeck review +  live pitch feedback. 

2. Max 5.

3. 100% ($500) goes to Farcon Scholarships stewarded by /purple, the OG Farcaster community DAO.

I love the idea of sponsoring trips to Farcon, but I would *never* pay anyone for pitch deck feedback or pitch review.

IMO that’s something that should be done out of good faith, or not at all.

Correct.

I would *much* rather give $100 to Purple no questions asked without a VC in the middle trying to source deals from it.

So do that. My fund doesn't invest in web3, so…..

1. Yes I agree, accepting money from a founder looking to pitch me as a potential investor, would be 100% inappropriate and unethical.

2. Offering my time/experience in exchange for a donation to a good cause is entirely appropriate.

3. I said nothing about accepting any cash myself.

Ok, I will - @ccarella.eth plz send me the Purple address so I can contribute $100 for Farcon scholarships :)

Ben, regardless of your fund’s thesis, you should know it’s bad practice to charge for pitch review. Easiest way to get on a founder’s blacklist.

Instead, separate the actions; you can offer free pitch review *and also* give money to support Purple. Just do that separately and avoid the confusion.

I shouldn’t need to send you money and trust that it gets forwarded to Purple.

I can do that myself, and I will.
