Help Me Be a Better First Meeting

As the year wraps up, I’m doing something I try to make a habit: asking founders for honest feedback. I’ve been doing this since 2021 and it’s been super helpful. I keep it anonymous hoping folks are direct.

If you pitched to me this year—whether we ended up working together or not—I’d genuinely appreciate a few minutes of your time. What worked? What didn’t? Was there something I could have done differently to make the process clearer, faster, or less painful?

Pitching is hard. The least I can do is make sure I’m not making it harder.

The form is anonymous and takes just a few minutes: Founder Feedback Form

Thanks for helping me improve. Here’s to a better 2026!
