    Well stop exploring the Robot…..no one wants a walking recording device in their home. I got rid of Alexa a long time ago. We already have the phone listening to us. Apple Home Robot…. Not buying it.

    As a newbie that wants to invest, you must have these three things in mind
    1. Have a long term mindset.
    2. Be willing to take risk.
    3. Be careful on money usage, if you’re not spending to earn back, then stop spending.
    4. Never claim to know – Ask questions and it’s best you work with a financial advisor.

      For real, people underestimate how much they can rake in from the stock market. I started with 127k just before the pandemic hit. Many people’s portfolios tanked, but I rode through with my financial advisor, and even made more than 206k within just three months of starting, and it’s been an awesome ride since then.

      I really don’t like making such recommendations. But there are many freelance wealth managers you could check out, but for me I invest with Charlotte Goldyn Allan and i will say she’s the best in the whole world because we have made a whole lot from her investment company.

He sacrificed his life and marriage for Tesla and spacex. Even his ex wife mentioned they are friends but had to separate because no human can run multiple companies and have a wife. It’s not possible. Me or you could never achieve the Falcon 9 and model S type industry changing moments

      Why doesn’t musk in your eyes not have love for it? He spent his entire PayPal fortune to get here

    Soon a massive geomagnetic storm from the Sun will bring down our electricity grids and fry our computer components. AI and robots will be toast. Our primary concerns in the short term will be pumping clean water, distributing food and fuel, and processing our toilet waste. In the medium term, we’ll return to an analogue world; robots and AI will be a thing of the past. I can’t wait! Forget Apple stocks, I’m investing in water filters.

    Home robot is a moving listening and recording device (audio + video), straight away issues around privacy, secrecy and security. Next, anything on the floor is a camera angled upwards, not great for inappropriate recording for anyone wearing a skirt or dress.

    Taller, heavier robots can topple and injure children and small animals in the home.

    Anything with any strength could pose an injury risk if it malfunctions or is hacked by nefarious groups.

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.
