The tone of the post just reminds me of how frustrating interviewing for a (software engineering) job is: Many rejections are arbitrary and the best advice is to just keep applying.

The goal is to run the business, the pitch is a tool, not the goal.

The goal is to demonstrate that you can do a job, the interview isn't the job itself.
