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.

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

I can’t say that I can fully understand what the issue was with the investors and not wanting to invest. But some of my take away from their comments was a little disturbing. I guess uncomfortable. Because as an entrepreneur myself a soprano, I can relate to just starting out taking your time, but not wanting to fall behind on your paperwork to run the business. Having an attitude and wanting a business is not all you need to have a business. The business is the paperwork. It is the taxes. It is... more
