I’D GO WITH AN INNOVATIVE SE4…
….AND MAYBE
A…
BMW
APPLE CAR….
…APPLE COULD MAKE 6 TRILLION DOLLARS WITHIN A YEAR IF THEY SELL 100 MILLION CARS @$80,000 EACH WITH A PRODUCTION COST OF $20,000
FOR EACH APPLE CAR.
MAYBE LATER THEY COULD PURCHASE TOYOTA AS WELL.
THEY’LL DEFINETLY MAKE THE MONEY THEN BUT TOYOTA IS NOT CHEAP.

Apple’s pain is basically because the CEO is a businessman and doesnt know how to innovate. His mainstay bread and butter IPhone is essentially the same IPhone as it was first rolled out, save incremental improvements. He can’t even keep up with Samsung on foldable phones. On MACs, it’s basically also incremental improvements also. The EV Car is dead and the Vision Pro is promising but priced too high. There is no anticipated dominance in home gadgetry. There is no consequential AI initiative till recent 11th hour redirection. That’s what happens when business people are put in the C-Suite that are primarily focused on eking out “good looking” Quarterly profits and will always lead a company down eventually.

Note: There will be zero savings in US for Q2 due the layoffs: Tesla has yet to make WARN Act notifications in each State they are making these firings. This is required by the law and only after that the 60 days clock starts running. Thus the earliest effective layoffs are in mid-July. Until then those employees locked out incur Tesla salary expenses, but have zero productivity. In Germany the delay will be even longer.

Those, who are eligible to stock options can also vest their performance packet out before last day employed by Tesla.

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.
