Getting started w/ ellipsis & Fly

​Your pitch taken apart in public

​Most feedback founders get is polite. This isn't that.

​Fly and ellipsis are coming together to give early-stage founders brutally honest feedback on their business idea and pitch. The things a VC thinks in a meeting but doesn't tell you.

​Between us we've backed 70+ startups. Both funds are run by ex-engineers and deep tech founders, so questions get technical fast.

​Who you'll be in a room with

​Fredrik Bergenlid is a Computer Scientist has spent years as an engineer and tech lead at Google before investing. Today he is a partner at Fly and has backed startups such as Wayve and Lakera.

​Yariv Adan is an ex-founder turned engineer & product manager. As a previous senior director at Google, he has co-founded Google Assistant and led initiatives such as Google AI in the cloud. Today he's a General Partner and co-founder at ellipsis – an AI-native venture capital fund investing into deep tech AI companies such as Flink Robotics and Mirelo.

​What you'll walk way with

​An honest read on whether your idea is fundable, where the story breaks, and what a VC is actually screening for. We won't hold back.
