  We Chinese auto workers can work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week. American couch potatoes are lazy and take your cozy life and everything for granted. No wonder US auto industry failed, again.????????

  No, I think Biden’s taking a page right out of the CCP’s playbook. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

  That’s the new world. Corporate welfare will be here for a while. It began in the 80’s in the West but China has brought it to a whole other level. Other countries are now trying to keep up.

China makes a decent $10k EVs that will slaughter the American EV competition in price/performance/options & the US wants to get all ‘protectionist’ now & make all kinds of wild claims from safety issues & labor rules violations, to being a national security threat. Let me ask you a question. If a good EV only costs $10k on the global market, but my country won’t allow me to buy it & forces me to pay them 4-5 times that amount for basically the same thing, then who is the real enemy of the American consumer here?

Basically Biden’s IRA is a total failure, so in order to cover it, this administration just made a complete ban on EV import.

They call it “rules based” economy, and the rule is: if your company is better than US’s then you will be taxed

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.
