We don't want to se the futures up this much. So strange. We have come in down every night for 9 nights. Now the futures are up huge. Where are the sellers. Things aren't "better" now unless we are at levels people, at last, like.

Most startup pitches sound like:
"We are building an ai native platform that streamlines the process of..."
I'm not joking when I say this but the majority of founders cannot explain what their company does in plain English.
This comes from an innate desire that most founders have; they want to make their work sound impressive.
They are also afraid that somebody will poke holes in their plan. So it feels safer to sound vague and impressive, than precise and plain.
If this resonates, here's something that might help.
A startup is a bet. Something that can be stated plainly and tested.
Somebody should be able to poke holes and take the opposing side of the bet. That's normal.
These criticisms shouldn't be surprising and while you might not have complete certainty, you should feel comfortable enough in your approach.
Once you do that, it'll naturally reflect in how you communicate your idea.

Entire crowd stands as one hoping to see something memorable.
First pitch. Bang. Legend.
