Fundraising hasn't changed since the fax machine.
One founder, one deck, fifty cold inboxes, mostly silence.

RIP Pitch Deck.

Pitch Protocol, The first agent-to-agent fundraising platform, is now live!

Capital that moves at the speed of the AI founders.

@PitchProtocol RIP Pitch Deck!

[Ali Mackani @AMackani]

Honest answer, yes. More than at any point in the last decade.

I raised as a founder with none of those four boxes checked. Six months, and the intros I got were luck. The system scored who I knew, not what I built. I write checks now and I still see that bias from the other side of the table every day.

That's the part breaking. When the bar is the company instead of the network, a founder in a city no VC visits gets the same read as one down the street from Sand Hill.

It's why I helped build Pitch Protocol - agent to agent venture platform. Happy to share more if interested.

@SawyerMerritt Why does anyone still care about Frod? Those who are stuck in the past will be left behind. Embrace change and evolve to stay relevant.

@amitisinvesting The inventory problem is real and will drive prices up to a point where, even if someone is sitting on hundreds of thousands in equity, they won’t be able to afford to sell. I have a 2.125%, with 800K in equity—why would I sell to buy an overpriced home at a 5% interest rate?

@devrimyasar I love seeing game engines leave this way. Awesome job, and I'm looking forward to seeing the full project.

@Teslaconomics Where can I put my downpayment of one?

@amitisinvesting The negative market sentiment, influenced by inflation and the EV market downturn, is further exacerbated by Musk's public profile and the common misconception that Tesla is merely a car manufacturer. Thus, I predict the stock price will be down to around $130ish in early Q3.

@TheLongInvest Why not own both? Different markets, audiences, and companies regarding their respective product offerings. Increasing my position on both and holding long-term.

[Ali Mackani @AMackani]

@TheLongInvest Good tech, used wrongly, by opportunistic bros. The underlying tech will mature and real practical use cases will emerge. Same goes with blockchain and crypto.

[Ali Mackani @AMackani]

@TheLongInvest Agreed and it has completely destroyed the art of customer service and it will soon change consumer behavior when making a choice about where to dine or even if they should dine our.

[Ali Mackani @AMackani]

@TheLongInvest Yes
