    This doesn’t sit well with me
    This is actually killing all the companies
    Get who can do the job
    Stop thinking about diversity

    Who is this reporter to tell a CEO how he should he manage his company? Why doesn’t she make similar demands in other areas of the business? She was totally out of her pro standards.

    ❌Every business must have at least one person out of every gender, race, or nationality groups. Otherwise it should be accused with bigotry & sent to jail????

    The absurdity and arrogance of her question is why this doesn’t make sense. What exactly would a woman bring to his boardroom?

    Condescending, and self defeating tone by the anchor if you want to improve diversity while maintaining meritocracy.

    This is how “white supremacy” sounds when talking down to others.

    The bottom line, potential advisory board members should be considered based on credentials, thus contributing to the long-term success of the company.

    What kind of patronizing moral policing was that in the beginning? He himself is a minority in the USA. Born and raised in India, a first gen immigrant success story. He wasn’t handed anything on the plate, look up his background. To go on and lecture an immigrant from a much less privileged background on Diversity as a white woman born and raised in the US is delusional and pathetic.

    DEI is what destroys companies. Hire based on ability.

    Caroline Hyde is abhorrent, seeking entitlements for women. She is an embarrassment to Bloomberg.

    WTF!! This is really bullshit from a reporter! And this is coming from a minority! Do you want diversity or do want the best when trying to build a great company?

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.
