Five minutes. On stage.
The Dossier
▸ 60 seconds · memorize
A fictional founder hands you their pitch — revenue, margin, traction, the cap-table headline. You get sixty seconds to read it. The clock matters. The next time you see those numbers, you'll be saying them out loud.
B2B essentials marketplace for tier-2 kirana stores. ₹2.4Cr MRR. 12% net margin claimed. Asking ₹6Cr at 18% equity.
“We onboard kirana shops in tier-2 cities through a one-rupee credit line — paid back from their next order…”
The Pitch
▸ 90 seconds · your words
Type or speak. Hit the anchors that matter — the problem, the wedge, the ask. Pick which lever you want the panel to remember: traction, vision, or a clean cap table. The deck is gone. The panel is watching.
The Grilling
▸ three rounds · one is a lie
The Skeptic comes first. Then the Operator. Then the Builder. Three multiple-choice answers. One is sharp. One is vague. One is a lie. Pick the lie and watch the bench cool.
⚠ one of these is a lie
DESHDIRECT · India · 6/8 sharp answers
The Verdict
▸ a Pitch IQ · a verdict
A score, 0 to 100. Stars. An offer if you earned one — or a polite walk-away if you didn't. Then a share link, because half the fun is sending a 32 to a friend who thinks they could do better.
— Live demo · Answer the panel —
One of these is a lie.
Pick wrong and they smell it.
Skeptic asks: “Your deck claims 12% net margin. What’s the true contribution margin per order today?”

- Localized panel from any of seven markets
- Full coaching report with quoted feedback
- Pro tier · unlimited replays
— Difficulty · pick your panel —
Three benches.
Same show. Different teeth.
Difficulty applies to both modes. The clock shrinks, the rounds multiply, the panel sharpens. Your Pitch IQ scales with it — a 94 on Hard is not a 94 on Easy.
Easy
A gentle panel and a longer clock. Built for your first run — or your friend's.
- 90s memorize · 5 grilling rounds
- Friendly judges · forgiving scoring
- −5 score floor (capped lower)
Medium
The default. The clock that matters, the panel that listens, the score that counts.
- 60s memorize · 8 grilling rounds
- Standard panel · standard receipts
- Baseline scoring
Hard
A tight clock and a panel that's already mad. They will catch every soft number you throw.
- 30s memorize · 12 grilling rounds
- Cutthroat panel · zero rounding up
- +3 score ceiling (perfect runs near 100)

— The panel · three archetypes —
They're not friends.
They each want something else.
The names change with the country, but the seats don't. Every panel has the same three archetypes — and giving an answer the Operator loves can be the same answer the Skeptic hates.
“What does it cost you to acquire a paying user this quarter?”
“Walk me through how that 30% margin survives delivery.”
“Why are you the team that gets this past month two?”
