Pitching a new business can be incredibly stressful or incredibly rewarding. The Pitch, a new podcast joining Gimlet’s lineup, puts listeners right in the middle of the process as entrepreneurs pitch their new companies to investors.
“The Pitch has the high stakes you expect from reality TV,” said creator and host Josh Muccio, “but you don’t lose the intimacy.”
The premise: entrepreneurs pitch their businesses in real time to get feedback and potentially receive funding from investors including Jillian Manus, a partner at Structure Capital; Phil Nadel, co-founder of one of the largest syndicates on AngelList called Barbara Corcoran Venture Partners; Howie Diamond from Ranch Ventures who looks for companies with a social-change agenda; Jake Chapman, founder of Gelt Venture Capital; and Sheel Mohnot, a partner at 500 Startups who sold his startup to Groupon in 2012.
“It’s unusual to see a project come in the door this fully realized and exciting,” said Matt Lieber, president and co-founder of Gimlet Media.
