On the heels of the $610,000 coffee date with Apple CEO Tim Cook, online charity auction platform CharityBuzz is offering lunches with some of Silicon Valley's top venture capitalists. If you'd love to share your best ideas with or pick the brains of VCs -- and have the cash to give to charity -- this might be the perfect opportunity for you.
From now until June 11, you can bid on power lunches to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of the Greater Bay Area. More than 20 venture capitalists, including Tim Draper, founder and managing director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson; Shervin Pishevar, advisor for Menlo Ventures; and David Lee, co-founder and managing director of SV Angel, are offering lunches.
Considering these auctions are likely to fetch high prices -- their estimated values range between $5,000 and $30,000 -- this is probably not the best plan for fledgling startups. However, if your company's alive and kicking, it's a great opportunity to get some advice and face-time from industry leaders.
With which VCs would you like to break bread? Let us know in the comments if these auctions appeal to you.
