and exactly how where and how does this saving come about into being, once they have singedup with TC50 ? - Peter Dawson
So getting a DEMO offer is a shortcut around the TC50 application process? Makes me feel good about the chances for my application... - Brad Collins via twhirl
Peter Dawson: DEMO charges $18,500 to get on stage for six minutes... TechCrunch50 is merit based and has no fee. IN fact, TC50 gives a $50,000 grand prize! Brad Collins: it's not a short cut any more... it was just for a couple of companies for three weeks because DEMO gave "exploding offers" to people. that's over. - Jason Calacanis
Jason: You confuse assumptions w/ facts. Invitations to DEMO - based on merit, btw - don't "explode." We ask companies to respond w/in 10 business days because demand outstrips availability.If they need more time, we work to accommodate them. And unless you're willing to name these 7 or 8 companies, there's no way to confirm whether this is more assumption on your part or fact, but the number of declines on our side don't add up to your numbers. - Chris Shipley
Chris: i have all the emails. the numbers add up as do my facts. - Jason Calacanis
