Jow Forums was always a shithole, but the moment advertisers came here it got unbearable. Consider yourself hard filtered. Redflow doesn't exist in my universe anymore

One day you get an email saying you’ve been shortlisted as a finalist for a “prestigious” award, putting you in the “Top 200” in Europe, out of “hundreds of applications”. Of course, hungry for exposure, you jump at the chance only to be told that you’ll be charged $3,820 (€2,900) to pitch to investors and attend the awards. This is the experience of many startups that have contacted us about the Red Herring 100 Europe Awards. We decided to put the concerns about the respectability of the awards to the organizers, who deny charges from startups that the event is now a revenue-raising exercise, lacks respectability in the marketplace and is trading on Red Herring’s long-lost past as an editorial force.
• That the Red Herring 100 Europe Awards no longer have the reputation they had, are worthless, and are not worth the $3,820 (€2,900) that is asked of entrants, especially cash-strapped startups.
• That they are run with a scant interest in building the tech startup eco-system and appear to be a gratuitous and blatant revenue raising exercise rather than a prestigious event which can gain a startup traction amongst investors.

[The guys from Red Herring] call you and give you a big pitch about how you were selected by some rigorous process and a special selection committee. But later I’ve learned through ex-employees that there are only a handful of folks in the organization and they’re really all just sales guys
When I attended the first time to present, I found a nearly empty room with five or six people and another entrepreneur presenting on stage. Next up, was me. Before I started, I just asked, “Who were the actual Red Herring judges?” No one raised their hands. Since it was only five others, I asked who they were with. They were all entrepreneurs waiting to present next. We then realized, there were NO judges and NO “esteemed panel.” We were all so disappointed, as we realized at that moment, we had been seriously scammed.
Bullshit
Two weeks later, we were ALL announced as Red Herring 100 winners! Surprise, surprise. They say that 200 companies are nominated and then they all present at the conference and from there, the judges select 100 winners. However, it is clear that whoever goes to the conference, wins no matter what. In fact, a couple of years later when we were surprisingly nominated again,

2. Company then pays to attend Award Ceremony and to accept award....company then finds out when they reach awards ceremony, that this is in fact a scam and you are just paying to have an award. Those who do not attend the ceremony, still pay a fee I believe now to have the image on their webpage.

They contacted me before saying if I'm willing to pay for the $3,000, I will get the top 100 award. It's a joke. But there are still so many companies willing to pay them every year in Asia. So sad.
