    I never understood the green bubble hate. I read texts for information not for their color.

      Watch the video again – it isn’t green-hate, it’s Android-hate.

      It breaks the uniformity of the standard blue and white theme. It’s silly but I can kind of understand it, humans like patterns and themes, when that gets randomly switched up it feels wrong. And also the fact that without RCS, receiving videos and audio messages from android phones is known to be awful quality, so I’m sure that has a lot to do with the disdain towards the green bubbles.

      It’s not about the color green, the pics and videos are low quality because SMS compresses the media. That’s why people have been asking for RCS support on Apple devices.

      ​@@mattiej2311it’s like an abusive relationship where their experience is degraded but they don’t know it because their experience is degraded even more when they talk outside their ecosystem.

    The most American problem of them all. I suspect most of the world is using 3rd party apps for messaging anyway, which as a consequence, preserves “homogeneity”

      Yea, everyone else uses WhatsApp/telegram. It’s only in the U.S. that this is even an ‘issue’.

    I wish they didn’t keep it green though, people still have the instinct of getting annoyed with me because it’s green

    Really… this is considered bullying. And if an iPhone users says something says more about them. Can we please quit inventing problems.

    It’s not their fault they can’t use iMessage, it’s also not apple’s fault, it’s nobody’s fault really, just use WhatsApp or any similar app like any normal country in the world. Americans can be so weird man…

    It’s neither android’s problem nor apple’s. Each company decides what features they are going to offer and how they will differentiate themselves from any other company. It’s our job not to be assholes and not to judge others from their bubble color.

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.
