A series of concrete pitching failures and fixes: a founder frantically building a deck on a phone, a brown paper bag demo (app revealed from a bag in a park), a 15-minute pizza delivery proof that wasn’t actually automated, and a Tinder date turned pitch. Advice focuses on what works — warm intros, short hands-on product demo, clear upfront credibility, one-line traction metrics, and a deck where every slide proves a single point. Decide by whether you want tactical do’s and don’ts.
