    Americans have to stop with the delusions around the Chinese (PRC+ROC). Taiwan is not Singapore. Do you know how close Taiwans closes island is to China? 6 miles. If you think it makes sense to build critical technology in Taiwan and it won’t be possessed by China in the next decade you’re smoking a new kind of Fentanyl. Cast a vote, not with the capitalist ready to die just to stick it to communism but the general public, that is, 70% of obese Americans living paycheck to paycheck who can’t afford a $600 emergency. Ask them if they want to go to war with China over a country that’s 6 miles from it.

    When China takes Taiwan back, what does the U.S think winning is? You can’t win against a super nuclear power, this isn’t 1950 otherwise weaker Russia would have backed out of Ukraine already. 150+ countries list China as it’s #1 trading partner and guess what? Taiwan relies on China for 40% of it’s trade. So what exactly is winning for the U.S? Ok, history books say you win, doesn’t change the reality, the U.S stock market will crash, Americans will lose their entire way of life. You can say the Chinese will suffer but If I starve you in a pit, do you care that your enemy is being boiled?

    Simply stop trading with China will be the right move to take back the US influence to the world.

    Iron Man here will get acquired by PLTR. They are targeting the same customers (mostly) and are very complementary with hardly any business overlaps.

    There’s been talk about the need for AI regulation for years but it seems to me that what’s even more crucial would be an international effort to regulate humans who create crazy destructive nonsense in the first place.

    I wish people would be asking more questions about Lattice rather than the hardware. I would love to learn more about organizing and orchestrating the show between Anduril hardware nodes, Lattice, and DoD/CDAO connections.

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
