Sounds like a great idea and wish you the best of luck. I'd love to hear your thoughts after the sessions. The restriction on "no pitches" makes sense in that

Sounds like a great idea and wish you the best of luck. I'd love to hear your thoughts after the sessions. The restriction on "no pitches" makes sense in that context since it's a pay-it-forward/advice style forum.
How do you think a similar experiment could be conducted that tries to solve one of the main problems a founder has with raising capital: getting a warm intro? Advice on a pitch is only helpful if there's someone to listen to the pitch! Something like office hours as "open auditions" for pitches?
- lpolovets 10y agoIt varies investor to investor. For reaching investors who only take warm intros, it's hard for me to help. There are other investors, like me, who reply to cold emails when they're personalized/well-targeted. Founders don't need any kind of audition to talk to the second investor group... they just need to send a relevant email (i.e. not "Dear Sir or Madam, here's a form letter about my company that I'm bcc'ing to 50 investors..")
