Elias Torres, co-founder and CTO of Drift shares his journey of coming to America as a poor 17-year-old from Nicaragua and how that shaped him into the founder he is today. He also touches on why he left millions on the table to go build his enduring company that would later become Drift.

First Pitches is a series where famous founders share the first version of their pitch. No founder starts their journey with the perfect pitch; the beginning of every journey is filled with self-doubt and lack of support. 

In each episode, we demonstrate that every founder (even the most well known today) had to go through the humbling experience of getting started with an imperfect pitch.

We’ll travel back in time to when our guests made their first pitch, listen to their actual pitch, and discuss the experience. In the process of exploring the first pitch, we’ll draw out vulnerable moments and practical advice that founders can use to improve their pitches.

Guests on First Pitches have included founders and CEO's of Box, Cloudflare, Backstage Capital, Drift, Truepill, Make Love Not Porn, and more.
