5 startup founders give their 1 minute pitch, then hear feedback from host Sherveen Mashayekhi and guest cohosts Polina and Anthony Pompliano, two of tech's most prominent media entrepreneurs and venture investors. More on them below.

The Feedback Loop is recorded live in NYC. We do what we do to support founders. Because the thing that can hold founders back, whether they have an awesome idea, great skills, the right team -- the thing that can still hold them back from changing the world? Their storytelling. Because narrative matters, whether you're trying to raise money, hire teammates, or sell your product.
