[ISN] (Slightly Off-Topic) The Greatest Pre-Launch Start-Up Pitch Ever?

This is slighty off-topic for InfoSec News, but I've started paying 
attention to the venture capital security space for possible inclusion 
in the next version of ISN.

BUT... if you're an angel or venture capitalist and would like to hear a 
couple of interesting security and networking ideas, please drop me a 
line at wk (at) infosecnews [Dot] org and I'll be happy to put you in 
touch with those parties.

So I've watched this YouTube video below about three times, and I was 
convinced this was one of the best social engineering stunts ever caught 
on video, til I started 'lightly' researching 'Rachel Sequoia' and found 
the article below, now I'm not so sure, I think she's serious.

It’s start-up demo season in Silicon Valley (not that pitching start-ups 
ever goes out of season in California). And here is a video of the 
Silicon Valley start-up pitch in its most ultimate form. I have watched 
this at least four times tonight.

Let’s not give away too much of the big idea, but every good pitch 
needs…Stories of personal relevance! Mumbo-jumbo about a big market! A 
plan to spend and make money! Boasts of differentiated technology! A 
check-in app!

“Share the Air” lacks none of these.

How real is this? Well, presenter Rachel Sequoia apparently did 
participate in an investor pitch session at the one (and only?) meeting 
of the Venture Capital Fundraising Club of Silicon Valley in February.
