I totally agree with what you are saying right now. Didn't mean to seem like I was assuming that everyone has money, I know that is not the case. More-so that if you just need 5k-20k to get things off the ground... I don't think a VC is who you turn to. Especially in an extremely public setting like that with your heart on your sleeve.
I just think this site/concept is a gimmick designed to rise up hacker news/twitter and attract attention to this particular VC. Sort of like... "look at me other VCs and real opportunities". The videos are basically displaying... "Look how much of an ace investor I am, come to me on the side with legit stuff please and I can help you out."
Mainly because investing is about hype as much as anything else. From a VC point of view: If an idea is not worth 1 million right now ... how could it ever be worth a billion? How could it ever attract the market?
