Notes from forty pitch meetings

Jana and I sat through forty pitches this autumn. Here is what the good ones had in common.

This memo has two authors. Jana reads the review queue with me, and her notes are better than mine.

The good pitches spent the first two minutes on the problem and never mentioned the size of the round until they had shown the milestone.

Jana’s note on the best one: “She answered the question I was about to ask.”
