Building an AI pitch deck evaluator that gives founders slide-by-slide feedback. It's called Fornax - an oven used by Ancient Romans. We are "roasting" a pitch to perfection, like how ancient ovens were used to refine metals or bake bread. @_buildspace @FarzaTV @_nightsweekends

Forgot to post but after 30 days of cold showers, here are the results: coffee ↓ productivity = no change energy levels ↑ mood = slight ↑ exercise = no change Showers are epiphany incubators and cold showers take that away so overall, I would not recommend it.

When providing feedback on pitch decks, I thought including an overall rating would be a nice addition. I did not expect so many founders to care about their score. Gamification is a great way to boost engagement and encourage continued use so now we are building a leaderboard!

In 2013 @elonmusk released his Hyperloop Alpha paper as a"truly new mode of transport". However, historical records of vessels traveling at subsonic to near sonic speeds in a tube were discussed as early as 1810. After 200 years, we are still waiting.

@PLBompard Once a user uses our tool, it triggers a 7-email sequence which asks for feedback. My calendly link is included in the email to reduce any friction / need to respond. We also built an in-app feedback tool so users can provide feedback while it’s fresh on their mind.

Reddit just shadow-banned me. Reddit was a great source of traffic and also somewhere I went to engage with my other interests. Has this happened to anyone else in the #buildinpublic community? If so, how did you get around this?

Famous last words.... As a former lawyer, most research memos, note taking, advisory and other tasks given to junior lawyers can now be done by Chat GPT - and probably much better than what I could have done.

@louzell_ @_buildspace Much needed as we become more divisive! I assume this is mostly focussed on the US? In my (very limited) experience, I find that outside of the US, the political landscape doesn't lie on a spectrum of left v right the way it does in the US.

Interesting stats from @DocSend on the time VCs spend on pitch decks. Depending on the time of year, VCs spend between 2.5 to 3.8 minutes per pitch deck. In 2023, the average time was 2.5 minutes per deck.

@FrancisPSantora We want to build tools that arm founders with story telling skills that raise capital. One huge issue is that a lot of founders have built great products but are not framing their business in a way that commands investor attention and we want to change that.

Cold shower day 15/30 - as I reach the halfway point, it doesn’t get easier but getting used to it much quicker and can easily spend 10+ minutes. Feels great when getting out but other that that, no real benefits. I’m starting to think this Wim Hof / Cold Tub stuff is a scam.
