Are you in the event planning business or something? Isn't the idea for investors to make their money via return on the investment they make in startups?
That said, charging enough to cover the cost of pizza and what-not, that seems reasonable. But any outfits that are charging more than a nominal fee are highly questionable to me.
If you are playing a valuable role to investors by providing them access to interesting new startups then they should be the ones paying you, not the startups.
