The Feedback Loop

Ep. 012 | What VCs REALLY Think About Your Startup Pitch


Listen Later

On the latest episode, hear from three startups across a peer-to-peer expert marketplace, gamified career coaching for Gen Z, and a new AI wellness application. Four rad startups pitch two skeptical investors, then get unfiltered feedback to help them improve their pitch, their storytelling, and their objection-handling.


Because the thing that can hold even the best founders back from reaching their ambition? Their pitch. Whether a startup founader is raising money, recruiting a team, or selling their product, it's the pitch at the start of any given conversation that starts them on a journey to success.


As always, hosted by Sherveen Mashayekhi, Founder & CEO of Free Agency. Follow him on X at @Sherveen. Find our guest host, Mike Ma of Sidecut Ventures, on Instagram at @michaelwma.
