  It’s good that it sounds like she’s actually talking to you, rather than the infomercial or “big event” style slick presentation.

  I think both Caroline and Ed make for an awesome team. Bloomberg Technology with Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlow is by far the best in its format. Only one I make tine time to watch in full without getting bored.

Ross is the worst. This is the worst kind of person. How would you feel if someone refused to pay you what they originally agreed to after you have delivered your part of the deal.

  TBH no one has agreed on paying a certain amount of money to nobody. The thing is that people own shares in the company and you cannot pay whatever just because the guy needs confirmation. The company is going down and probably will be bypassed by other car companies.

Ross Gerber speaks truthful facts. In 2024, Elon Musk fans are masochistic fools. I cancelled my X-Twitter account after experimenting with it for a year or so cuz of Musk’s Doge scam and Tesla exaggerations; since I signed on to exercise my free speech in support of Trump and NOT to become a Musk fan. Again, Musk did not buy X-Twitter for free speech but to expand on his Doge crypto scam until of course FTX collapsed and exposed crypto for the glorified public encryption ledger of trading vapor coins. Musk should really stop the press and just focus on the machine learning at hand aka AI until he delivers. There is no trust with someone who is just abut PR shows instead of delivering excellent products and tangible results.

If I were to be a Tesla investor I would advise the board to pay Elon and don’t speak. am sure it will be a win-win for them all but if they want to try the unknown good luck to them.

Disgusting anti-Musk propaganda.
And X has a surge of right wing users because it’s the only major American social media that doesn’t censor and ban them.

X is not more popular among Conservative. Globally, the Liberals of today are not welcomed anywhere due to their horrible bullying culture. YouTube is also “more conservative” or “less liberal friendly”. Also the majority of thought and opinion lives online than on the mainstream media (which is often liberal), and it’s political season. Mainstream media only caters towards emotional thought rather than rational thought.

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.
