The Feedback Loop

Technology EN ↓ 80 episodes

Every week, 10 startup founders get up on stage in front of a live audience in NYC and give the 1 minute version of their pitch to two venture investors. Then, they receive 5 minutes worth of feedback about their storytelling, pitch, and concept. It's not about an investment being made on the spot, but instead transforming the way a founder talks about their startup -- because the thing that can hold even the best of founders back? Their storytelling. Hosted by Sherveen Mashayekhi and Free Agency. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
