RE: UKNM: First Tuesday

[Richard Uttley]

I attended a recent FTN event and was disappointed (though not surprised due

to the current climate) to see only one potential VC. He looked around, saw

all the "seekers" and ran. Maybe there needs to be a change in the format

otherwise I can see all events ending up like this. In the past when dot.com

madness was rife it was more akin to a trading hall, but these days I think

it would be better if seeker attendees were better prepared with information

and VC's, Angels or whatever gave notice of their intention to attend. This

would save many seekers (who are often running with a tight budget) the cost

of attending an event from which they wouldn't gain and would make it

possible for VC's to get through project descriptions faster.

Actually, way back when, 'donations' were whatever you felt like dropping

into a bucket by the door...usually £5 or £10...And, the kinds of characters

that used to go there, like the eloquent Sajiid Mohammed (where the hell is

he?) and others that made it what it became...stopped going.  Its

evolved...no question there...better for some...not so better for others.  I

wanted to attend a recent function and was asked everything from a business

plan to the size of my waist...hmmmm.  Not sure of I wanted to tell 'em

that.
