Hi Jason

There's no mention about the fee at all on the website, so after
completing their detailed submission format, I've got a call from them
wanting to schedule a deal screening time. He then mentioned about the
fee, USD6,000, all this while I thought it was free.

Dear TKTKTKTK,

Thank you for submitting your application to present at the Keiretsu
Forum chapter meetings in the San Francisco Bay Area on September 23,
24 & 25.  We will begin the prescreening process for the August
Keiretsu Forum meetings the week of Sept 7-11 and should be contacting
you within the next few days to coordinate a one-hour prescreening
conference call.

In the meantime, please review, sign, and either fax or send as a pdf
the attached screening agreement. Please note that we cannot set up
the prescreening call until we receive the agreement. Our fax number
is (415) 543-2007. I have also attached an article written by Ed
Harley, one of our most active members, on how to deliver an effective
presentation. It will provide a good reference for your future
preparations.

Finally, please let us know your availability for a prescreening call
the week of September 7-11. It helps if you can provide us with
numerous available blocks of time.

The FAQ's (which are buried on the site) are very vague. http://www.diigo.com/07y4u
Q: Does the Keiretsu Forum take commissions from Keiretsu investments?
The Keiretsu Forum does not take warrants or commissions for capital raised through the Forum.

Q: Is there a presentation fee to the Keiretsu Forum?
There is no fee to present at the Deal Screening meeting. However, if at the Deal Screening meeting your company is selected to present to the full Forum, there is an administrative presentation fee

Great story about the scams on TWIT this week, wish Leo was more of a sports fan cause I loved the Cuban Mavs story too.
