    If they’re doing jobs, they’re taking jobs. I may be inevitable, but facts is facts.

      Wait, so they’re taking all the jobs?

      Then again, I say it’s perfectly fine if they take the jobs that often end in human injury or death. Underwater welding is the first that comes to mind.
      What I DON’T want to see is robots taking jobs for human creativity (AI artists/writers in Hollywood.)

    As long as the job people don’t like is still a job that people can do, a robot performing the task will always take someone’s job from them. I don’t like this at all, lord know we have enough unemployed. But sadly this is nothing new, we been getting rid of or streamlining jobs with technological advancement since forever.

    Robots are just going to be a tool by capitalists to make more profits and increasing wealth inequality. This is why the social ownership of capital is so important, because it helps technology help people rather than just increasing profits for a few.

    You only have to look in the direction of self checkouts to know where this is going. People outside of tech jobs with low skills and low education are in for a world of hurt when these come to market.

    The unskilled South thinks that foreigners are coming for their jobs, man, they’re in for a rude awakening.

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.
