​🎯 Who it's for
Founders who want to:

• ​Get honest feedback on a pitch before it counts

• ​Pressure-test the deck they're about to send out

• ​Find out how their story lands with someone who does this for a living

​Most useful if you're building something venture-scalable in Australia or New Zealand and have something to show — an MVP, early users, or a validated problem.
