      More memory, ethernet gigabit port, USB port and so on… You can’t add all these things without increasing the size of the device and making it much more expensive… It is aimed at a different market niche than the dongle.

    Google needs to stop hiring lazy UI/UX designers who hide behind minimalism, resulting in bland and impractical interfaces. Unlike Apple, whose designs feature sleek, translucent elements that elevate the user experience, Google’s interfaces often feel like a grey, uninspired mess.

    That price increase is kind of insulting, the remote is practically the same but with the button layout changed, the thing itself is much larger, the spec upgrade after a 4 year wait is minimal at best and basically on par with devices that came out years ago.

    The only real new thing is a find a remote button, waste of space ai stuff yet not a ai upscaler like the shield just a joke through out.

      You don’t know what you’re talking about… The Google TV Streamer brings a bunch of new features and specs, like more memory, Ethernet port (you can see that in this video), USB port, and so on. You may not be interested in any of these, but many people, like me, are willing to pay more for these features.

    The colour options are terrible especially for non USA customers, white will stand out so much it will be distracting, there is a reason virtually every sounbar is black, becaseu virtually every TV is black.

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.
