Great podcast! I love the follow up after the pitch to find out if the investors followed through. It’s a great format.

I learn a lot from this show about entrepreneurship

I’ve listened to every episode of this podcast. Sad to see it go. Even if you aren’t looking to get money for your business, it’s informative and exciting to listen to these business owners pitch their ideas and see just what they go through.

While downloading this week’s episode, I saw that this is the first episode for the final season. No! Don’t go! I really enjoy The Pitch! What can we do to get you to change your mind? #sigh. This makes me so sad.

I've listened to two episodes so far and it seems that these series have full of interesting stories from real start-up cases. Also, I love the professional conversations among the hosts.

I love this show! Great feedback and a fun listen. Wish there were some images or video to go along with it, so one can see the presentation. I love making my own predictions and whether I would’ve invested if I were a billionaire too😂

Great show

I cannot recall if I’ve provided a 5 star review previously. But here it is. I work and speak with startup founders weekly. The investors provide excellent analysis of these businesses. On top of that, they are kind and supportive towards the founders. It is a very positive and informative show. Love listening every week. Just wish there were twice as many episodes.

Ugh, I accidentally put this review on the wrong "The Pitch" podcast page. Sorry! Wanted to say I'm not an entrpreneur (too scared for that) and I'm not an investor (too broke for that) but I LOVE listening to this podcast about young businesses and what they do. It's very interesting to hear about the products and services people think about putting out into the world. It's equally interesting to hear the investor-experts give their opinions on the future of these businesses and whether they think they have a chance to "make it".

I love the show. As an individual with no business background but an entrepreneurial mindset and a drive to take my innovations to the next level, the show presents lots of food for thought for future entrepreneurs, like me. Over the last season, the show has done a commendable job of better explaining what certain acronyms or jargon term mean that might not immediately register to those like me. Now, while you still get a five star rating from me, I would like to offer a modicum of feedback. That is, I suggest avoiding prefacing phrases that could inadvertently marginalize a part of your listening base. I took issue when Josh said in episode 31 @ 00:25:00 that unless you’ve been living under a rock you probably already know what an ICO is. I’ll be quite frank, I have some very successful people in my family who are entrepreneurs and I’ve lived around business language quite a bit in my life, but I’ve never heard of an ICO and I felt like there are probably others like me who haven’t either that really don’t want to want to be put down for this. All this to say, going forward it would behoove you to avoid these sayings by exercising a little more sensitivity to the fact that you have listeners that are still learning. Try not to absentmindedly exclude them or marginalize them. Otherwise keep up the good work. Please bring back the values of the investments!!! Michael Hyatt needs to go. Hate him. No compassion. Frankly, I think business classes at all levels should require listening to this podcast. Thanks for all you are doing. Keep up the great work!!! Ari in Grand Rapids, MI.

Please get rid of this guy. He brings down the industry.

A pretty good podcast but OMG MICHAEL HYATT. He is the worst. He is unreliable, self-aggrandizing and pretentious and also gives the worst advice. One time he told a former addict working on an app to track addicts that he should check into rehab undercover and get addicts to use the app for user research, describing them as "animals on the savannah" - telling an ADDICT to check into rehab, under false pretences, to spy on other addicts without their permission. Disgusting and outrageously unethical. Please Gimlet, get rid of this guy, he brings nothing to the table and is horrifically damaging.

Love this entire podcast! So much knowledge dropped in each episode and for someone who is a previous teacher, joining the startup world, this has been extremely helpful. Just finished “80% Off!”. Would it be possible to do more conversations like the one at the end of this one with Sarah? More in-depth info about valuations, etc. would be awesome!

I love the real-time feel of the show. The pitch lets you hear and learn from the pitch makers mistakes; while staying nicely out of the way of the story.

So interesting!! Fabulous VC panel that give huge insights into what drives their decisions and how they evaluate founders and their products. Love follow up episodes and when Josh offers his opinions too!!

I like this a lot, and I feel like it is a little underrated. Check it out.

Says it all in the title. Basically a better Shark Tank

Listen to the show consistently. Solid insight into what I hope to one day be a pitch of my own. Expert panel weighing in on their typical day of risk vs reward. Empowering to listen to others sharing their dreams, their solutions, and putting these idea people to the test. I listen while I run and it dawned on me, the questions, typical cadence, usual formula (much appreciated), always leave out two crucial questions to what I would consider prior to investing in anything (cup of coffee to vacation) ...how will this help the planet, how will this help humanity. I know vc’s have a lot to consider when putting their money into a project, BUT why not add a couple of variables to their equation, add some depth to the ‘I’ in ROI? My two cents. Thanks for the show, keeps me dreamin! PS- a live show outside of the big city would be nice.

Imagine Shark Tank only with no BS and SERIOUS advice for these young entrepreneurs. Spectacular listen and super compelling. If you’re thinking about doing a startup and going for VC money it’s a must listen.

Inveators not inveating. Many startups only hit maybe one in 10 investors they pitch (and that’s high), so it would not be unusual for there to be maybe two to four investments per season. I like the show but sometimes feel aome episodes are cut for time and there’s probably more discussion that is edited out. I’d be good with slightly longer but more detailed episodes. Live Gimlet but on this one I think too much is left on the virtual editing room floor.

I love it😻😻😻

Listen and learn. Founders pitching to investors. Think Shark Tank without annoying TV personalities/sharks.

I love getting to hear the live pitch and then all the interesting twists and turns after the "happily ever after" funding committment moment. Or as it often turns out, "complicated and interesting ever after."

Even though I don't have a startup and probably never will, I love the drama of this podcast. I enjoy learning about the fascinating businesses, hearing the investors feedback, and how Josh breaks down the pitch tactics—and builds drama as we find out if the founders earn investments. I have been enjoying the follow-up episodes and look forward to more of those in the future.
