Feels like a strawman to me.

There are certainly people who do investments based on a quick meeting (e.g. Andy Bechtolsheim's Google investment), but most people will have follow up meetings before actually committing to an investment.

That said, we select startups based on 10 minute meetings, and that works remarkable well.

Also, criticizing entrepreneurs for pitching at demo day just seems mean.
