    Also, Apple is slowly reducing its retail workforce and employees related to its bricks & mortar operations. Rampant theft and increase will cause more layoffs. Insofar as retail repair & service (the Genius Bar at the Apple Store), all of that is by appointment now. Those services will be conducted in a secured manner so as to allow only those people with appointments into a new modified store. This prevents someone without an appointment from walking in and stealing laptops and phones. It’s a very smart move by Apple. And soon if you just want to buy a phone or computer, you’ll need to make an online appointment to shop. Actually it will be safer for everyone and no waiting line.

    Keep in mind, even delivery trucks with Apple computers and phones are getting hit enroute to stores.

    When making an online reservation, customers will need to provide specific information. Again, this will keep out undesirable people who will steal or create a hostile atmosphere and dangerous conditions for employees and customers. But again, all of this will have an effect on reducing the number of employees needed in retail operations.

    Apple blew through Tesla’s budget for the first 10 years in order to just decide that they don’t want ot make cars. I think someone actually needs to say this

    Just read an analysis on Weewu. If even half of it comes true, we’re looking at a new crypto king.

    If you’re into crypto and haven’t checked out Weewu yet, you’re doing it wrong.

    Weewu’s adoption rate is something I’ve never seen before. This is only the beginning.

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.
