Hacker News, shut up and take my money

Recently I made a couple of attempts to offer early-stage startups on HN both money (small to medium check sizes) and advice... All attempts yielded pretty much zero responses so far.

I've successfully raised capital for my startups in the past (https://medium.com/questmate/how-we-raised-a-us-1-5m-seed-round-at-us-13-5m-using-nothing-but-our-product-ca5215d40a98) and also have a good portfolio of investments into startups either directly or via other people's funds (read: VC) as an LP.

My hypothesis is that, despite economic turndown, investment money is still available in abundance.

So what's yours? Does it sound too good to be true, maybe?
