The Feedback Loop (7/1) with Mat Kaliski
Join us for Monday’s taping of 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 on a recorded livestream. After they deliver their 1 minute pitch, they then receive 5 minutes of direct, actionable feedback on their pitch and concept from our check-writing investor judges.
This week’s group will present, as always, to our expert host, Free Agency’s Sherveen Mashayekhi, alongside a special guest host… and this week, it's Mat Kaliski of Acronym Venture Capital! More on Mat below.
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 – it’s all about the natural pitch. Because the thing that holds most founders back? Storytelling. It always comes back to storytelling.

Important information:
This is an in-person event and will be recorded and livestreamed — remember, it's all about the execution, so don't be afraid of getting your idea out into the world!
Due to high demand and limited slots, only a select few founders are accepted for each week’s event.
Want to attend?
RSVP to this Luma and join us live! Doors open at 6pm ET, and the show will begin at 6:30pm.
