On Episode 032 of The Feedback Loop! We hear from founders building: a marketplace for market research, a new way for you to get your veggies every day, a platform for Internet radio and micro-communities, and a zero-waste, non-toxic cleaning products brand.

As always, hosted by Sherveen Mashayekhi, Founder & CEO of Free Agency. ​Today's guest investor is Nika Duan, Partner at Inflect Capital.

The Feedback Loop is all about getting ambitious founders on stage to pitch and get unfiltered feedback from experienced, honest investors.

Because the thing that can hold even the best founders back from reaching their ambition? Their pitch. Whether a startup founder 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.

For those founders on stage and in the audience, it's an answer to the essential query: how to pitch your startup.
