Not that I have any affiliation, though was curious. So I reached out to Troy on Twitter. He claims he extends more time if needed/requested, and they move quickly to close deals.

Is it possible, that maybe what transpired here, wasn't in fact a calculated tactic, designed to screw the applicant?

Extending the deadline is exactly what we would expect if it was a high pressure sales tactic without a legal purpose. Sending legal documents without giving the time for legal review is horrible. You should not be encouraging your startups to skip consulting lawyers.

Well, we both agree that high pressure tactics are not cool. Also encouraging startups to skip consulting with lawyers would be uncalled for. However on the second point, I can't see any mention of that. Do you have any evidence, or is this speculation?

In this specific case, I can see it going both ways.

So I guess where we perhaps differ, is that I would prefer to be certain of intent. Ideally, before reaching for the pitchforks to publicly shame someone.
