The Pitch
★★★★★

Great podcast....But!

I've listened to a few episodes now and I'm now subscribed, also I have enjoyed it for many of the reasons already mentioned in prior reviews. It's well produced and an easy listen. BUT, as a start-up CEO myself for the past 2 years, and having been in more than I want to remember pitches myself I can credibly say that when the tape is not rolling many of these Angels and VC's are a hell of lot less freindly and polite. It's one of the things I often debrief with my team about, the large percentage of Angels, High net-worth, and VCs that are really out of touch with what it is like on this side of the table. It takes no more effort to be respectful and decent. I'm not bitter at all if this sounds critical, rather I am attempting to offer a bit of reality from first hand expereince. It would be a better podcast if that real-world could be captured, heck maybe it will be in future episodes. BTW, we have taken funds, and thankfully we have been in a positon to take money from investors we respect and feel great about partnering with so far...! Enjoying the podcast, ty!
