Pitch feedback

LinkedIn for Hollywood, a new travel app and more

Welcome to the first edition of The Hiten Show Newsletter and the show's second episode.

In today's episode, I'm trying something new. Founders will pitch me, and I'll give them two perspectives: an investor perspective, the impression they'd get, and the questions they'd likely face. Then, I go deep into providing feedback on the pitch itself.
