The Pitch by Gimlet Media

Real entrepreneurs pitch to real investors—for real money

The Pitch is a podcast that takes you behind closed doors to the critical moment when aspiring entrepreneurs put it all on the line. Each episode delivers on the high-stakes promise of a live pitch without shying away from the nitty gritty details of what happens after everyone shakes hands and walks out of the room.

I'm a big fan of The Pitch and I'm proud to have been in the number of the original listeners who was an "insider" before they were acquired by Gimlet. I appreciate the platform that they have created for founders (especially women and POC) but also the intentional nature in which they try to close the loop on "what happens after". I think that's normally what's missing on shows like Shark Tank. Big #shoutout to Josh, Lisa, and their entire team. The only thing I wish happened more often was that the episodes were a little longer. Or maybe even do a quarterly "since you last heard them" update episode. :D

@onebandwagonfan thanks Harold :) I can't guarantee the episodes will get longer but maybe we should bring back The Pitch Insider!? What's a reasonable price for that anyway? I think it was $9 before... but that seems a bit steep. I'm thinking $3 bucks a month would be more reasonable yeah?
Harold Hughes
@joshmuccio as an entrepreneur, I'd definitely pay $3!

This podcast follows in line with many of the other great shows from Gimlet Media. Josh does a great job hosting and the investors each bring their own take with their investment theses so you get multiple points of view. It's one of the podcasts I look forward to each week.

Pros:

Each week the show has a different entrepreneur from a different industry. It's entertaining, drama filled and you learn about a new field.

Cons:

New episodes aren't released daily ;-)

The Pitch is awesome. I did my Pitch this Summer and really enjoyed the experience. @joshmuccio and his team are great, and the investors in the panel are also very savvy. Looking forward to my episode coming out in September (about Playven.com - OpenTable for sports)

some of the investors are truely exceptional and you learn the real issues of the investment community

Pros:

Carefully edited product, one of my favorite podcasts, John is an amazing host

Cons:

The podcast should follow the companies over the medium term to track down their development after a year or so since the pitch

I love this podcast so much and have been following Josh Muccio's work since "The Daily Hunt" many moons ago. Keep up the great work!
