Founders pitch me their startups: Web3 gaming, AI scheduling assistant and more

On today’s episode, three founders pitch me. I give them two perspectives: the investor viewpoint, including the impressions and likely questions they'd face, and detailed feedback on the pitch itself. We discuss:
• What not to say
• How to talk about traction
• Telling a compelling story in under 60s
• Avoiding investor confusion
• Communicating your unique value

Today’s founders:
• Austin: Howie (howie.ai)
• Omar: UnInbox (uninbox.com)
• Luke: Pixels (pixels.xyz)
