Your investor may already get an AI briefing on you before an upcoming meeting, and your customers ask the same online tools who to buy from. But if your website is all animation and less readable copy, what do those tools actually see? Does it match the story you want told?

Claude for founders only pays off when it keeps working while you don't. Jake Berber's setup chased me five or six times, every three business days, to reschedule this very recording, in a voice that sounded exactly like his.

Imagine you are about to perform a three-minute startup pitch. You stand on stage, the countdown timer ticking. Precious seconds go by, and as you start talking about your business, you explain who you are. You mention the team — beep, beep — the time is up. What. Already. Well, that has happened t…
Okay, this was a really, really great episode. Today I'm helping another founder with a life pitch fix, and you are really in for a treat because on the one hand, Strong by Form, the company of today, is absolutely fascinating.
