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.
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.
