If you would have told me a year ago that a founder would raise $1.4M on our podcast!!?? I would not have believed you.

Kavitta Ghai broke all the records on our show in one of the most impressive pitches I've ever heard from a founder.

From the moment she entered the room… 🧵

The largest AI deployment in education 🤯

Congrats to @KavittaG and the team at @NectirEducation 👏

[Kavitta Ghai @KavittaG]

🚨 We made AI history today.
@CalCommColleges just announced a systemwide partnership with @Nectir — bringing our FERPA-compliant AI Assistants to all 2.1M students across 116 campuses.

This is now the largest AI deployment + quantifiable study in education ever.

We’re proving that statewide AI can scale safely—protecting privacy, equity, and academic integrity while re-imagining how students learn.

Huge thanks to @shawnarchen + @axios for telling this story 👇

Excited to share my conversation with @joshmuccio of @thepitchshow! Josh has a huge following but is usually on the other side of the mic so this was fun.

We talked about:

🐑 The dangers of consensus investing

🎥 The behind-the-scenes of how The Pitch works

⚖️ Whether the market matters more than the founder

Josh is great and I have a lot of respect for what he's built with The Pitch. It helps that my son loves The Pitch as well. I hope you enjoy and shout out to @peterliu for introducing us!

🚨 The Pitch Season 13 Finale is LIVE 🚨

After 11 intense pitches and months of rigorous diligence, Season 13 wraps up with a bang. 🚀

This season, the power dynamic flipped.

Founders refused to play by traditional rules—turning down VC offers and speaking out boldly when investors ghosted.

The question is... how will that turn out for them?

Tonight, we reveal what happened next.
🎙️ 4 founder deep dives
⚡ Rapid-fire updates on the rest
💰 One final investment opportunity for listeners

This episode captures the raw emotion, unexpected twists, and relentless determination of founders who will stop at nothing to bring their vision to life.

Don’t miss it—it’s everything you love about The Pitch, taken to a whole new level.

"Where else in the world can a founder raise $1.4 million in 30 minutes?!?" - @KavittaG

🚨FOUNDERS 🚨 I'm excited to announce that The Pitch Show is taping a new season w/@voxmedia this August! Applications are open, we want to hear your pitch!

Fundraising for startups is notoriously hard. But founders on The Pitch… they make it look easy.

Over the last 5 seasons, 40 startups have collectively raised $13,781,087 directly from our show. Here's the breakdown:

- $6,855,000 from The Pitch Fund + VCs featured on the show
- $6,926,087 from listeners investing angel checks or via SPVs we host

But it’s more than capital, it’s community.

Founders get access to a community of 100,000+ founders, angels, and LPs who don’t just listen, they engage. Your next Fortune 500 customer, strategic partner, key hire, or angel investor is already tuned in, waiting to hear your pitch.

We’re looking for 18 startup founders with grand ambitions of building a generational company and changing the world. If selected, you’ll get undivided attention from some of the top early-stage VCs & angels in the world.

- @cyantist @LongJourneyVC 🚀

- @chudson @PrecursorVC 🌱

- @srcasm @flybridge 🌉

- @immad @mercury 💳

- @katepmcandrew @_baukunst 🎨

- Rohit Gupta @ Future Communities Capital 🏘️

- and more! (BTW: We’re looking to bring more emerging managers on the show. Comment below if you’re interested or know someone who’d be a good fit)

Founders get a solid 30-40 minutes to pitch VCs in-person. Lisa, Peter, Anna and I do everything we possibly can to prepare our founders for success in the room.

🎯 Craft your pitch for maximum impact — We deconstruct your standard investor pitch and rebuild it with a clear narrative flow – adding tension, momentum, and emotion.

🧠 Tell a story people won’t forget — We help you zero in on the one thing that truly matters and cut everything else. From vision to traction to market, every part of your pitch is framed to land with maximum impact.

🤝 Get matched with the right VCs — We carefully pair you with investors based on stage, thesis, and the underrated X-factor: vibes.

What’s the catch?

Founders travel to the Bay Area for a few days, if you land a deal on the show, we ask that you hold allocation for The Pitch Fund to coinvest.

No bs contracts, predatory terms or BS.

We’ll invest our time and resources to help you pitch the best VCs in the world. In return, we just ask that you let us go on the journey with you!

We want to change the world just as much as you do. We’re building the venture platform we wish existed when we started.

Are you in?

To apply: take 2-minutes to fill out our form! Applications close June 30th.

Google/ChatGPT “Apply to The Pitch” OR drop a comment below and I’ll send you the link.

PS: We invest in just about every kind of startup – building in cities all across the US and abroad

@ericbahn have you taken your van to the track yet?

This is exactly the plot for Mountainhead 😧

The most dangerous person in tech isn't Elon or Altman.

It's a 28-year-old who built the training system for OpenAI.

Now Zuckerberg just gave him $15 BILLION to join Meta's "superintelligence" lab.

Here's why every tech CEO is terrified of what's coming: 🧵

@InfiniteJulian0 that's brutal! Reminds me a little bit of this story https://t.co/rzb3q5PRqj

[Cyan Banister @cyantist]

For those who are Christians, it’s not enough to just love Jesus. Perhaps, try his teachings. If he’s about love, which is how I characterize his mythology, then are you loving? Are you kind? Do you seek to understand The Other? If not, then you are using the “word” incorrectly. You are just being a dick.

Glass houses, stones and all…

Remember: it was a sex worker who washed his feet.

for most of the 1.5 billion students in the world, studying sucks and is boring 🥱

but today, learning on Jungle just became infinitely more fun 🙈

we released 5 new trees 🌴, 3 new characters 🐒🦥, and a whole new game design system 🕹️
