Hundreds of thousands of startup founders and investors listen to our show for dealflow and to learn from the best VCs in the world.
This means startups in our portfolio raise more money in less time. And when episodes air, founders get an influx of new customers and people interested in working at the company.
But let’s rewind; who are we and how did we get here?

We are operators with multiple successful exits in e-commerce and media. Over the last eight years working with Gimlet Media and Spotify, we painstakingly grew The Pitch into a media franchise with a monthly audience in the hundreds-of-thousands.
Startup founders trust us with their story. They want the boost from our show and access to the VCs in our network.
This gives us unique dealflow that other emerging fund managers would kill for. And when you get access to more companies, you can be extremely picky about who you invest in.
We can identify the best founders because we get to know them better.
At the pre-seed and seed stage, there isn’t much data to go on. So how do you know which startup founders will succeed?
You don’t!
The best performing VC funds have a loss ratio around 50% so you can’t know for sure whether a founder has what it takes.
But you could design a test to try and find out.
Enter The Pitch Show.
We didn’t set out to make a founder test. But the process of pitching on The Pitch gives us an edge in diligence.
