Klarna is such BS new debt “model”….and then they are doing a “credit card”?, IPO? REDUNDANT AF. Like they’re not trying to get the poor masses into more debts.???????? Will never use “Klarna”….I have cash and credit score of 850 plus with multiple 0% offers over 12-18 months as a result. Balances always paid in full on statement balance. Properties paid off. Because I never use alternative “loan sharks” like Klarna. For once teach people about responsible fiscal and good values instead of stupid trends that leads to deficits in governments and most of its over leveraged citizens!

Caroline and Ed are such an awesome team. Now that I cancelled X-Twitter, I can use the time to watch BT on YouTube Premium. This is how I combat Channel Fatigue. Again, AI is really automated machine learning and perhaps down the road it will become more intuitive but for now I will wait and see.

  Actually you can visualize it as three circles: the biggest circle is AI, within that is machine learning and within that is deep learning.

It’s funny to hear Chinese subsidies for EVs as a justification for these tariffs when the US also heavily subsidise this industry.

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.
