Just do it.
Pros
Big alumni network (on Slack etc). They are doing better and better in providing help to portfolio companies, e.g. constantly organizing online events (webinars) and more.
Advice for management
We tried to get help during our A round fundraising from the 500S team, yet we had not been successful. I believe rasing a next round is a key milestone for a founders and 500S as well and is in the best 500S interest to be more involved - provide feedback to terms etc.

Not Worth It
Dave is spread too thin. Very spray and pray. Alleged benefits of 500 Startups support organization diminished by factory feel to the whole system.
