About This Event

Roast My Deck - the AI picks apart your deck live. Then the investors do.

Five founders raising right now pitch for 2 minutes each. Eve, our AI, has already read every deck. On stage, she scores each one and names the slide that’s killing the raise. Then four founders-turned-investors score the pitch live. Then Eve will share learnings from 1000+ decks she analyzed to date and provide actionable recommendations.

Approval only, capped at 200 RSVPs, no operators and consultants - only active founders and investors who back them.

On stage

  1. Vyrill - Ajay Bam

  2. SageneX Lab - Mikhail Kulak

  3. Navoy - Haroun Moula

  4. inGeniti - Bhartendu Sinha

  5. ScaleAgentic - Anna Yuan

The judges

  • Mikita Mikado - founder of PandaDoc ($1B valuation), super angel

  • Pete DiSalvo - exited founder, GP at Blackwing Ventures (pre-seed to Series A, the physical layer of American industry)

  • Sandy Naidu - exited founder, GP at Marathon Fund (founders who think like athletes and build like operators)

  • Kenny Tucker - 15 years scaling startups from seed to IPO (Jive, PlanGrid, Numerify, Proxy), now an angel investing $2M a year

Why founders should come

  • Five live teardowns in one hour: what investors react to, what kills a raise, and how to fix it.

  • Eve has read every deck that was submitted. After the pitches she will share the most common mistakes across all of them (anonymized).

  • Bring your deck and Eve will review it live at her booth during drinks.

  • A room of ~200 serial founders and investors, many of them writing checks this quarter.

Why investors should come

  • Five companies raising now, pitched and scored live in front of you.

  • An hour of curated programming, then a room full of serial founders who are raising.
