In today's episode, I'm trying something new. Founders will pitch me, and I'll give them two perspectives: an investor perspective, the impression they'd get, and the questions they'd likely face. Then, I go deep into providing feedback on the pitch itself.
Meet today’s founders 👋
Steve Witmer is the co-founder at Roster, a networked marketplace for film and production professionals. Before Roster, Steve built over a decade of experience in product and design at Wrapbook and Lennd.
Michael Bishop is the co-founder of Spot, an app for travelers. Since moving to London in 2023, he and his friends have discovered a problem they believe is worth solving.
