Ya but what about people In wheelchairs who enjoy VR? Not complaining at all. But my wife is a double amputee and I thought she’d enjoy VR but she couldn’t because there are no game functions for people like her to help her.

  Prosphetics are a thing, and what do you mean there’s no game functions to help her? Most VR games are designed without legs in mind. If she has hands, she can play.

  @DesuVR No disrespect, but that’s the issue. Putting everyone’s handicap in one category. I said double amputee to make a point. But she has a rare disability called Caudal Regression Syndrome. The bottom half of her spine didn’t fully develop. She walks on her hands. She cannot use prosthetics.
  So like I said, I’m not complaining. But I do wish their were more ways for people like us to enjoy these games. Because for normal people they can experience life just like everyone else. And people like my wife and I are less likely to have the same opportunities as everyone else because we’re disabled. So we try to enjoy our lives with what we can. And VR is one of them.

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.
