Looking for feedback from founders refining their pitch
Over the past few months, I have been working on PitchArti, a product founders are using to practice and improve their startup pitch through repetition and structured feedback.
What stood out during early usage is how often founders pitch once or twice, get vague responses, and are left guessing what to improve. Pitching is usually treated as a milestone, but it behaves much more like a skill that improves through regular practice.
PitchArti focuses on that gap. It helps founders iterate on their pitch, see where clarity drops, and refine their story without the pressure of a single high-stakes moment.
I am sharing this here mainly to learn how other founders approach pitch improvement today. What signals do you rely on to decide whether your pitch is actually ready?
Always open to hearing how others are thinking about this.
Great initiative — asking for founder feedback on pitch clarity before you go to investors or partners is one of the smartest early moves you can make. A couple of practical tweaks I’ve seen help pitches land better:
• Focus the first line on the problem + who it affects — that’s what hooks people before they hear the solution.
• Quantify the pain point if possible (e.g., “X% wasted time,” “$Y lost annually”) — numbers give context quickly.
• Make sure the ask is clear (what feedback do you want — clarity, business model, validation, metrics?)
For others here: when you’ve refined pitches with founder feedback, what’s one early revision that consistently made the pitch easier to understand to peers? That kind of insight is gold.
I run a marketing agency where I help businesses improve lead quality and set up automations—free to start.
I use a proven internal process for lead sourcing and outreach that’s designed to save time and improve response rates without adding complexity.
If you’re interested, I’m happy to set this up for you so you can see how it performs before making any commitments.

Pitch feedback is key, but even with a perfect pitch, users sometimes go quiet after showing interest. How are you handling that stage?
That’s a great point, and we’ve seen that too. A clear pitch gets attention, but silence often happens after interest because expectations weren’t fully aligned, not because the pitch itself was bad.
What we’ve noticed is that when founders use pitch practice to surface where confusion or assumptions still exist, the follow-up conversations tend to be more concrete. Fewer “sounds interesting” responses, more specific next steps.
