- Too Much Laughing
I enjoy the show for what I learn about venture capital investing and the novel businesses I hear. I’m a long term listener and have invested in a few companies over the years. However, I have enjoyed the last few seasons less because of all the laughing with the founders and the hosts before and after the pitches. I’m also reluctant to say that I really don’t like hearing Lisa’s voice at all. Sorry. But it was much better in my opinion when Josh was solo.

I REALLY enjoyed the episode about Kavitta Ghai and Nectir’s accomplishments. What an amazing story! I would love if you did more founder profiles and success stories. Very inspiring!

Apple Podcasts3Nick McNultyUnited States7 months ago - Live Stakes, Real Decisions, and a Standout Pitch from Amaka
This episode of The Pitch, “LIVE in NYC: 3 Startups, 3 Investors, 15 Minutes to Invest” (March 18, 2026), is exactly why the show stands apart in a crowded field of startup content. The live NYC format adds real stakes, real energy, and most importantly, real accountability. You can feel the tension in the room in a way that edited studio episodes can’t quite replicate. It’s not a performance; it’s actual decision-making under pressure.
What makes this one special isn’t just the format, it’s th... more
