Most pitch feedback tools review your deck. That's the smallest part of the problem. The Founder Unfriendly AI Coach — built on Charlie O'Donnell's bestselling book and 20 years of VC feedback sessions — covers the full arc: whether to raise VC at all, how to identify your real strengths as a fundable company, how to run a raise like a process instead of a prayer, and how to decode what investors are actually saying when they pass. Buy the book, unlock the coach.

@ceonyc there are so many fundraising resources out there, I really hope you're able to break through the noise man, you consistently put out such deep and hard-hitting insights and the book + AI coach seem like the perfect combo.
@taylor_jacobson Thanks!!
I started reading Founder Unfriendly after buying it at one of Charlie's book talks on Tuesday and it's incredibly detailed, with new framings I haven't heard or seen before. I had to take a break in my reading to start using the chatbot, because I got so excited, and ended up going back to work because of all the insights.
The only problem I had with it was that it was a bit off on the current date (so it gave feedback on my plan in my pitch deck that sounded like it thought we were in January 2026), but that's honestly the only hickup :)
Good job Charlie, love what you do!
@juliadelin Oh, weird.... Can you e-mail me the chat? :)
