Elon Musk is an autistic and narcissistic hypocrite addicted to Ketamine and Ozempic, and
under DOJ and SEC investigations among a litany of lawsuits!

  That interview was unbearable to watch. He/she should start his/her own company and run it however he/she likes.

Who would be stupid enough to let third parties have avatar image consent esp the likes of Heygen????? “Joshua” Xu should have used an avatar to counter his terrible accent for PR appearances….????

Looks like they dragged back Ed from his holidays and sent Caroline on one. Ed-Caroline can use HeyGen and be on holiday at the same time. Make sure BT keeps running though. Lots of love from India!

Irony of calling Nvidia too expesnive while she is invested in Broadcom which is far more expensive in terms of valuation metrics.

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.
