Second, your account is over 1900 days old and it seems you are making personal attacks? Is this true, or have I mistaken "you" for a you general.
Third, my original comment was rhetorical. If someone thinks it is hard to touch base with 500 Startups then it doesn't mean anything other than the person thinks it is hard to touch base with 500 Startups. There are plenty of good investors out there, and if you are going to invest in technology then it only makes sense to, you know, use technology to make it easy to collect potential investments (which as I pointed out, 500.co sucks at doing).
I don't understand what you are trying to communicate in the third paragraph.
Not 'refusing to fund unless I get recommendations'. Refusing to even talk or hear our story. The same thing happened in Startup Chile Demo day as well with their other partner Bedy who was there to listen to pitches.
I would suggest that you find a way outside of that OR look for 2 people in your network to introduce you.
