Roast My Deck - the AI picks apart your deck live. Then the investors do.
Who this is for:
Serial founders who understand what it takes to successfully raise a round these days.
If you're mid-raise, about to start one, or sitting on a deck you already suspect isn't working, this is your room.
Approval only, capped at 200 RSVPs, no operators and consultants - only active founders and investors who back them.
Why this isn't another pitch event:
No demo day. No boring investor panel with self-promotion instead of real hot takes.
We'll kick it off with a group of founders turned investors, discussing the current fundraising environment and best tactics to navigate it.
After it - we have something new for you. 5 selected founders will quickly pitch on stage, and then Eve, our AI, will go through them live: problem framing, the narrative, the slide that's actually killing the raise, and will give her actionable suggestions on what to improve. Then the investors on stage react to your pitch and to the AI's read of it.
You'll leave knowing what to change and how to approach your fundraising so it becomes less painful than it usually is.
