Record or upload your demo-day pitch. See which parts land, which need work, and what you left out, then rehearse a tighter version. It also reads how you deliver it: pace, filler, uptalk, and jargon.
Each founder had roughly two minutes on the YC stage. Watch the talk, then see how it maps to the framework, the same analysis you'll run on your own pitch.
Hook, problem, traction, the ask, and the rest. It shows which ones you landed, which are thin, and which you skipped, and how much of your pitch each one took. Open any part for what’s missing and how to fix it. This is a real read of Retool’s YC pitch.
See Retool’s full breakdown9 core elements investors expect, plus 4 optional ones (How It Works, Why Now, Vision, Roadmap) that only some pitches need.
Add these only if they fit your pitch.
Practice the way the room actually hears you: a tight clock, a read on every element, and a rewrite to rehearse against.
