Plz, No Tell VCs dat da BS be EZ 4 Me

This year at SXSWi, I was challenged to compete in the infamous Battledecks, where I was challenged to pitch a company based upon investor slides I had never send before. I thought it was going to be ridiculous, but I never expected to have to pitch “Green Hedge Funds” using Amy Winehouse, Bacon and some *creepy* guy in a cat suit. I tied for second, being down-pointed by one judge who thought my language must come from my real presentations. I doth protest. By i’ll admit I’ll have to earn new fake prezentashun skillz to beat da fake pressenter hisself.

Anyway, enough blather, just click they video and watch how I come out swinging under pressure ;>

Eddie Codel posted this video. Mike Monteiro of Mule Design Studio made all the slides. All I had to do was make an ass of myself.
