I'm a little confused by the investors' feedback regarding Alex's pitch. Alex sounded very unenthusiastic during his pitch. He was much more understated than Capri Wheaton with Dressd.
Regarding Capri, Jillian commented [quoting from the transcript] "I didn't feel that energy of a true inspirer who's gonna just get everybody, you know, lifting the team and - I didn't see that.".
But why didn't Jillian use that same criteria for Alex's pitch? Alex sounded almost indifferent. Yet Jillian remarked, he had "smoldering brilliance". Maybe this is just because she didn't quite grasp the technology and defaulted to the boy-genius trope.
I’ll be there🍻
