I love that we get to hear an almost 30 minute conversation between the investors and the entrepreneur. Interesting companies and valuable learnings for those of us who love the startup world. However, I’ve stopped listening since the new format was introduced. Waiting months to hear the...Read full review »

I’ve only listened for two seasons and love the show but the format this season is super annoying. They end on a cliffhanger to find out what happens and then (I think) we’re supposed to tune in months later for an update? Other than that the show is great and fun to hear how VCs think.

Been a great show, followed since the beginning and then through gimlet. Now waiting for one final season conclusion is just a dumb idea lost this listener.
Timbomcgee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/24
Used to like the show but not a fan of the cliffhangers in the latest season. The best part of the show was hearing the whole outcome in one episode. Hope the format will be fixed.

Love the show, but one of the beauties of it is getting full cycle from pitch to funding with the follow up story all in one episode … these Cliff Hangers are killing me lol

This started off as a great show, but is now losing its way. No longer do you get a follow up of what happens after the pitch.

I’ve been a listener since the early Gimlet days, so it saddens me to have to post this, but who’s idea was it to make every S12 episode incomplete? You will have to wait until December to hear the conclusion of each episode. Talk about a memory context switch. I hate this shameless teaser...Read full review »

Great podcast, great content but really dislike the new format saving the outcomes until the finale. Part of the sparkle of the Pitch was hearing a pitch all the way through and the outcome in the same episode. As a non business person this format provided insight to what made a pitch good or...Read full review »

I suppose they must have market research or something for their new (2024) format, so I’m probably an outlier, but I hate saving the investment/due diligence outcome for a wrap-up show months in the future, where I will probably not remember details of the episode, none of which are so gripping...Read full review »

"The Pitch" offers gripping and real entrepreneurial stories, putting you right in the room as startups pitch their ideas to investors. The authentic conversations and high-stakes atmosphere provide invaluable insights into the world of venture funding. A must-listen for anyone interested...Read full review »
Katie Planet via Apple Podcasts · Costa Rica · 06/23/24
Great episode listening to the full pitch, unedited! Totally great hearing all the details and makes the founder more impressive being able to handle all those questions that are non sequential, in real time. Good practice for founders to hear the line of questions in true, full speed. Also,...Read full review »

I just binged every single episode of this show in about 1 month. I was listening to it constantly and could not stop. Really great investors. Very educational. Makes me feel like so much more prepared in my own business ideas and endeavors. Would greatly recommend to anyone thinking about how to...Read full review »

After a long break, it's wonderful to have The Pitch back in my podcast feed. The well developed pitches and the follow up interviews provide a cohesive look at start-up life, equal parts entertaining, insightful and motivational. I do have some constructive criticism. While certainly...Read full review »

My daughter has started a baking business and was on Food Network's Kids Baking Championship. Listening to these pitches is helping her understand why it is so important to know her numbers for when she wants to expand her current business or one she creates in the future. Thanks to all the...Read full review »

Not a business person but I still find this show super interesting, and the stories that come after the pitch make it feel more personal
Dcmasih via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/23
There are aspects that I both like and dislike about the new format. I like the input from the investors and I think many people would find it valuable. I also like that it differs from Shark Tank in that there is more help given not tied to money, just investors that want founders to succeed....Read full review »

I am so impressed with the way you bought your podcast back from Spotify and are reinvigorating it in a new way going forward. Like many listeners, I really missed The Pitch and I’m excited it is back and even better!
BooneLady via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/23
I have absolutely no interest in this crap, especially from a news organization.
TeddyMP via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/23
Please stop with the too loud overdramatic background music during the pitches, it’s so distracting and just makes it hard to listen to.
Will 1648 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/23
This Is a great show however, it shows a lack of opportunity for black start up businesses. This is just a continuation of capitalism and not really given opportunities to black owed business. It’s hard to believe that no black on businesses apply for the show.
2Radar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/23
No need to literally just recap what was said intermittently throughout the episodes, it’s repetitive and loses my interest
Dan3875 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/23
Fantastic show that gives a peek into the ups, downs and realities of early-stage investment from both VC and Founder perspectives (and super entertaining)
AronHaus via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/10/23
2023 just got way better. I love this show. Couldn‘t be more excited. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
therealsuper123 via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 02/02/23
I can’t express how excited I am that The Pitch is coming back! This more than almost anything makes me feel like things are finally returning to normal since 2020.
CupOfJoe2012 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/23
Re-listening to old pitches is nice but getting new ones is even better. Good luck!
Ballalallaa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/08/22
Like others, this show was part of what has inspired me to become an entrepreneur. It provides examples, business insights, strategic advice… a lot of wisdom packed into every episode. Excited for the new season.
pjreiman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/22
So happy to hear the pitch is coming back — I really missed it!!!

My most listened to podcast of 2020 lol. It’s just soo entertaining while being so valuable!
Dani Erika via Apple Podcasts · Philippines · 04/01/21
One of the best business/entrepreneur-oriented shows out there. So entertaining and educational :)
Lola Luffnaigle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/21
I would love to hear more food startups to.
wheel house the robo man via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/21
Honestly, I would give five stars but the Morgan and Morgan parts between episodes are absolutely annoying.... I skip through every time. On a side note! I would love the opportunity to pitch my start-up for n the show!
pierceBD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/20
Love the podcast, but there’s been so much emphasis lately on entrepreneurial “diversity”. Please get back to business and away from victim hood and identity politics. Everyone that isn’t a “white male” gets coddled, as a person of color I must say it’s a little patronizing at this point.
Dan52847 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/20
Always both entertaining and informative, highly recommend!
Shniklfritz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/20
Really enjoy the structure of this. It’s exceeded expectations. Very helpful being a fly on the wall and hearing the pitches and entrepreneurs that get cash, and comparing them to the ones who don’t.
JCRMV via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/20
This podcast is one of my favourites!
Cdnhandler via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/20/20
Decent podcast. For me it’s either all the episodes or none. Have fun on Spotify
Mr tempting via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 08/28/20
If the founder Kevin can afford his two kids go to private high school this year, then why he can’t afford a developer to turn on the pay wall following apples requirements.
heyaoqing via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/20
Great show, concise episodes with varied companies and founders. But it seems like the investors never actually go for it! It’s frustrating
miss cgh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/20
Absolutely love The Pitch. If you enjoy Shark Tank, you will definitely like this show. I love the check ins, both at the end of the episode and in later episodes. I never miss an episode.

The Pitch is one of my favorite podcasts. I love the authentic view of the entrepreneur, VCs, and the pitch. It’s everything you hope for watching tv shows like Shark Tank, but without the taint of network tv.
Sylvezine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/20
I have listened to every single episode love this podcast very professionally produced.
Michelle turner via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/09/20
This show was made for you. I work in education, but have always been interested in the the path of entrepreneurship. I really enjoy listening to this podcast. I do wish it offered more episodes with female guests.
hdgakalxuhqjatwbwbw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/20
This is one of the few podcasts I enjoy listening to. It’s fun to hear new ideas and how investors react. The host is great and it’s an all around great podcast. After hearing an ad on Spotify, I had to listen and it was a great decision!
::::::::::::::::::::::) via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/20
This podcast is perfect to help entrepreneurs avoid some of the pitfalls when dealing with VC. I love that in the discussions the VC gives alternative ways to raise funds and suggestion(on product improvement or marketing, pricing etc.) if the company is too earlier.
Tree506 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/20
Aside from every once and a while an investor putting in $25k, they always “pass” on the entrepreneurs. Otherwise a solid show, but what’s the point if they don’t put their money where their mouth is?!
~ K B ~ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/20
So entertaining and informative
lilliemitchell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/20
The interaction between the entrepreneurs delivering their pitch and the investors is extremely interesting to listen to but the snarky comments made by the host really detract from any otherwise solid show.
dannosky via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/20
The behind the scenes recap separates this from the rest as we get to hear what happens after the initial commitments and the diligence process. Not every deal goes through from that first pitch or sometimes investors get even more excited and put in larger amounts. I like the approach of the Pitch!
