Great ost - yes, I see this all the time across Europe. So few people know how to pitch. It will take a while.....

Hey Ted,

thank you for your comment - as mentioned before: Your session was good, it's just somewhat sad to see that we have so many startups who still lack serious pitching skills. Which is a prime reason why we need sessions like yours today more, in a less exclusive fashion and in many more places!

I completely agree with you -- if you stayed for some of the pitches I think you saw that the basic level of coaching was needed. Typically we actually do this with startups in a two-day session, so it is a real experiment to try and squeeze this into three hours and cover 12 companies!!

It is always a challenge when you have an audience with an enormous range of experience -- sounds like you have a lot of experience, I hope you got something out of the session even though most of the session was for companies and CEOs who needed the extra help

best

Ted
