I love all the bland, platitudinal aphorisms and vague "x for y" explanations. It feels like a lot of startups do this without realizing.
They covered the basic buzzword list:
* "disrupt"
* "change the way you interact/think/work"
* "like x for y"
* "pivot"
* "what if you could..."
etc...etc...etc...
