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
Vyrill - Ajay Bam
SageneX Lab - Mikhail Kulak
Navoy - Haroun Moula
inGeniti - Bhartendu Sinha

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.
