Startup Pitch Event! ChatGPT Becomes a VC at The Feedback Loop, March 4

​What's The Feedback Loop?

​​Every week, we invite a batch of early-stage startup founders to sharpen their pitch – in front of a live audience and later released on YouTube. After they deliver their 1 minute pitch, they'll receive 5 minutes of direct, actionable feedback on their pitch and concept from our investor judges.

​Usually, our host Sherveen Mashayekhi (Founder & CEO of Free Agency & angel investor) is joined by aguest venture capital judge.

​BUT next week’s session of The Feedback Loop is unlike anything we’ve done before. For the first time ever, joining Sherveen on stage to deliver real-time feedback to 6 startup founders: ChatGPT.

​We’ve trained OpenAI’s latest models on insights and lessons distilled from 50+ episodes of the show, giving ChatGPT the power to instantly respond to pitches with concise, actionable advice. Watch live as AI delivers strategic insight, challenges assumptions, and helps founders sharpen their ideas—right alongside Sherveen.

​Could AI replace VCs? Come see for yourself.

​​​Want to pitch? Apply here! Important: this is an in-person event and will be recorded — but startups are all about execution, so don't be afraid of getting your idea out into the world!

​​​The session is unscripted and unfolds in real time – the judges don’t know the founders’ ideas upon their arrival. There are no slides, there is no script, and there is no live funding happening – it’s all about the natural pitch. Because the thing that holds most founders back? Storytelling. It always comes back to storytelling.

​​Doors open at 6pm ET, and the show will begin at 6:30pm.
