Agreed, the title is a bit sensational. There are a handful of active, quality firms on this list. I don't think it's fair to call out SoftBank Capital, Quotidian, etc. I appreciate the goal here, but the approach is flawed. (FWIW, I work in venture, but the firm I work at is not listed.)

I don't think it's 'unclassy' to replicate a successful model in another vertical, but this model usually doesn't translate well.
BirchBox gets all of their samples for free. Beauty companies are used to giving out free samples and consider it a marketing expense.

You should look into HackNY (http://hackny.org). Last summer HackNY paired 35 students [1] up with startups and gave them all housing in NYC.

Well done, but it looks awfully similar to DontEat.at. ;)
