Here's What People Are Saying About 'Bazillion Dollar Club'

SyFy's "Bazillion Dollar Club" premiered Tuesday night to some solid anticipation, as viewers were eager to see what 500 Startups' outspoken Dave McClure and Highway1's eccentric Brady Forrest were going to bring to the table. The first episode, "Vango," followed a pretty juicy premise: "Will Ethan be able to sell his dream, an iTunes for art, into 1.5 million dollars worth of investment?"

The reality show promises an inside look at the world of startup accelerators, with each episode following a different hardware or software startup (which the duo has invested in) as they navigate a sort of business bootcamp. It all seems quite intense. From what I've heard there are many four-letter curse words employed, often in succession. It's sort of like "Shark Tank" for the tech space.

The headlines leading up to the premiere and after it aired all seem to indicate it's been received more or less positively, though naturally some viewers are more skeptical than other. Here's a sampling:

I didn't get a chance to tune in, but I look forward to getting caught up. Naturally, though, Twitter was aflutter with activity during the first hour-long episode. Here are some highlights.

@davemcclure advice on #BazillionDollarClub boiled down to sex and promise of wealth sells. Pitch that. Commerce 101.
