Founders don't have time to work on a great pitch. So today, I'm excited to announce our launch of Dunky AI! We built Dunky AI to help you speed up the process of creating a compelling pitch. Work with Dunky to get instant feedback on how well you're communicating the most compelling components of your startup and understand what you need to address.
@lukaa21 great question! I'm not sure - I would guess not. Feel free to try it and let me know what comes back!
@elizabeth_yin1 Loving this low-stakes way to polish a pitch, Elizabeth; super thoughtful for early founders grinding solo. One quick ask: what's the #1 pitch flaw Dunky catches most often that surprises founders?
@swati_paliwal It drills into the idea as well. It is able to scan competition from across the web and in our own datasets to determine if the idea is differentiated / unique. When I was a founder, my own startup idea was not differentiated, but it's hard to know what else is out there and who else is pitching something similar beyond the regular internet searching. Dunky can help illuminate that so you can address that.

@elizabeth_yin1 Oh snap! I love this! And you're a VC, so I love this even more, someone who sees pitches for a living created this! Awesome!
@mogabr thank you!

Hey, this is pretty awesome!
Does it also help you challenge ideas and sales angles, or mostly just the copy and tone?
@ugo_builds it challenges differentiation / how to stand out / concerns about the business model & approach, etc.
This is clever. Most founders (myself included) struggle to tighten their pitch. How does the AI evaluate pitch quality — is it scoring clarity, conciseness, or audience fit? Would love to try this before our own launch.
@talal_bazerbachi2 thanks! It scores more heavily on the business itself vs the storytelling of the pitch. I.e. questions & concerns a VC would have. Things like business model, competition / differentiation, team's backgrounds, etc...
Congrats on the launch! Is the feedback provided by Dunky static (a scorecard-style report) or conversational, meaning can founders go back and forth with Dunky to workshop specific sections like traction or market size?
@rephelper thanks! I think it should be fairly dynamic, but if the feedback is that it thinks the idea is in too crowded of a space, that won't change.
one question - does this only shares feedback or it also helps to rework on the pitch?
@nayan_surya98 great q! right now it only shares feedback incl what needs to be addressed... but a rework of the pitch would be even better. great idea and thank you!
@vouchy every week :) (unfortunately). we see about 1000 pitches per month. When I was a founder lobbing in emails to VCs, my ask was for just 10-15 min of their time (which didn't sound like a lot to me). But now in getting those emails, it's just impossible.
