?Rachel Sequoia? And ?Share The Air? Were A Prank, But The Pitch Event Wasn?t

It's always feels sort of good to be able to de-bunk a prank on April Fools. Now most of us got that Rachel Sequoia's insane startup pitch for 'Share The Air' was fake, but the event it took place at, the SEO-optimized Venture Capital Fundraising Club of Silicon Valley was real in the sense that 5-6 real start-ups pitched there, hoping to practice in front of an audience of 80 people before they pitched VCs. The whole thing was orchestrated by Trademarkia founder Raj Abhyanker and Spiralmoon's Dan Carlson for two purposes, a) To give young startups a place to practice their pitches b) To add some levity to the mix with the 'Share The Air' parody of Silicon Valley.
