A reverse review site? Where the VC's review startups or entrepeneurs they have come across? Features to rate would be: * the level of illogical reasoning and unreality of the business plan * the Me-too factor or lack of differential advantage * the complete lack of market factor * Market adoption hinderance level * Dependence or Domino factor * Management internal turmoil factor * lack of personnel factor * Inhumane working conditions factor and so on....

Do you know how much time VCs waste for a entrepreneur. Much needed forum for founders, every system needs checks and balances. VC is middleman it is neither their money, idea nor hardwork their motto should be service to entrepreneur. Even publicly traded company's CEOs shudder at their arrogance. What do you think they will do to founder who is working 16 hours a day. May be 10-20% are really good. Please dont dilute the value of this site with your controverial comments.
