You're in luck! We're offering a brand new moral-spinedectomy operation, guaranteed to turn mushy humanity into glorious ~~psychopathy~~ - I mean leadership!

Got a CEO who just can't do the right thing (for the shareholders)? We offer up to 20-way split billing so the whole board of directors can chip in for the surgery!

Four-hour recovery before your CEO is ready to do ANYTHING to meet quarterly expectations, no matter how cruel and capricious! Or your money back!

you don't need to lie. come up with 50 pitch decks, submit all of them, which ever gets the most feedback probably also has more market fit so go with that.

I'm not 100 percent on what I want to build, I just know it'll involve ai models, automation, and autonomous agents. The way money is flowing to this space. I think a rough idea and a good team is all you need for funding.

That is one of the wrongest-sounding things I have ever read, as you can tell from the track-record of VC-first incubators. (and the effectiveness of the VC industry in aggregate)

All you're getting is feedback on what VCs like the most...

Don't 90% (or a high percentage) of their investments to go bust?

Yup, but at least you know they’ll give you, money.
