Skeptical Investor Read

Pressure-tests your pitch with an investor looking for reasons to say no — the unstated assumption, the unprepared-for question, the hidden strength.

Prompt text

Read this [pitch/plan/idea]: [paste it]. Respond as a skeptical but fair investor who has seen a thousand pitches and is looking for reasons to say no, not reasons to be polite.

Cover:
1. What's the biggest unstated assumption this whole plan depends on?
2. What would make you say "this is a feature, not a company" (or vice versa)?
3. What question would you ask that the founder probably hasn't prepared for?
4. What's actually good here that a less skeptical reader would miss?

Don't soften the critique to be encouraging — the value here is catching blind spots before a real investor or customer does.
