Angela.VC - AI-powered coaching for founders courting world-class VCs

I built this because I kept watching talented founders walk into the most important meetings of their lives completely underprepared. The moment that sparked this: I've spent years around startups and fundraising, and I noticed the same pattern over and over. Brilliant founders with real products would sit down with a VC and just fumble. Not because their idea was bad, but because nobody had ever given them honest, structured feedback on how they tell their story. The narrative was messy. The ask was unclear. And the investor moved on. The frustrating part? The tools to fix this existed, but they were locked behind £500/hour pitch coaches or warm intros to the right advisors. If you weren't already in the right circles, you were basically practicing on live rounds with real investors. That's an expensive way to learn. So I started building. Angela started as something much simpler. A deck reviewer. Upload your pitch deck, get structured feedback. That was it. But the more I spoke to founders using it, the more I realised the deck was only half the battle. The real gap was in the delivery. How you tell the story out loud, how you handle tough questions, how you hold the room. So we added live practice sessions. First text-based, then voice and video. Now you can actually pitch to Angela in real time and get feedback on what's working and what isn't. We built the evaluation layer on real investor frameworks. Not generic presentation tips, but the actual lenses VCs use when they're deciding whether to take a second meeting. What Angela does today Upload your deck or just start with your idea Pitch live via voice or video Get detailed, actionable feedback immediately Iterate and go again until you're sharp We've had over 1,000 practice sessions run through the platform already, mostly pre-seed and seed founders preparing for their first real investor conversations. The problem I keep coming back to is simple. Founders don't get honest, structured feedback on their narrative until it's too late. Angela changes that. You get unlimited reps, real frameworks, and zero judgement, before the stakes are real. Would love your feedback. Try it free at angela.vc and let me know what you think 🙏
