The reason I got revux is because I believe decentralization is more important than anything else.

Getting laid off sucks, but is the unique to Tesla? Why is this news?

What a huge disappointment Elon Musk has turned out to be. Musk is a brain on drugs. Tesla is a failure. Wake up and smell the fraud. What a grift on “humanity” when instead of solving real problems, you extract taxpayer subsidies to sell pie in the sky vapor like EV which rely on electricity generated by fossil fuel amongst other fund and resource wasting BS like Mars colonization etc…
Oh wait, what about the DOGE racketeering?

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.
