I've known Holt for over 20 years and he has always been a great source of business advice. As an example, I recently asked his help in penetrating an exciting new market for our company, and his advice, counsel and contacts were highly actionable. He arranged a meeting with multiple decision makers at a Fortune 100 company with under a weeks notice. Very impressive and high impact.

As others have stated, this is in my experience, a unique and absurd request that is totally uncalled for and has no precedent.
Ask for a list of entrepreneur teams and companies they have funded, and google the funding rounds to look for their participation. Usually, legitimate money will be more circumspect than the less professional, and occasionally questionable sources.
