Pitch practice for founders
Practise your pitch on camera. Get feedback based on how investors judge founders.
Every research finding behind your report comes from a published study, listed with its source. No invented rules.
Record your pitch
One minute, three minutes or five. Alone, on your laptop camera. Nothing is shown on screen while you talk except a timer.
Read the report
Your voice, your words and your face, measured against behaviours that research links to how investors judge founders. Each point comes with the study behind it and a moment from your recording.
Answer the investor
An AI investor asks five questions about your pitch, out loud. You answer on camera. You see whether you answered the question, how you framed risks, and how you sounded.
What the report looks at
Energy
How much your pitch and loudness vary, and whether you smile when you open and close.
Van Zant & Berger, 2020 · Jiang, Yin & Liu, 2019
Tone
Speaking rate compared with your own past attempts, filler words, and whether your statements end on a falling pitch.
Smith et al., 1975 · Guyer et al., 2019
Competence signals
Whether you cover the eight points angel investors screen on, the charisma tactics you use, and how much you look at the camera.
Maxwell et al., 2011 · Antonakis et al., 2011 · Shinya et al., 2024
Warmth signals
Your smiles and pace, with the research on where warmth helps and where it costs. People you invite can rate you directly.

What a better pitch does, and what it doesn't
In 1,139 accelerator application videos, more positive delivery went with a higher chance of funding, but it did not predict how the funded startups performed (Hu & Ma, 2025). In a field experiment, pitch training helped investors rate strong ideas higher and weak ideas lower (Clingingsmith & Shane, 2018).
A clear pitch lets investors judge your venture on its merits. It does not make a weak venture strong.
